Watching that video, I get the feeling that the plane wouldn't have been flying for long if the pilot had attempted a turn sharp enough to return to Laguardia or take him to Terboro. That would have scrubbed of a lot of speed. The smooth arc of what was basically a glide appears to be what saved him. A skillful exhibition. On Dec 30, 2011, at 1:33 PM, Igor Roshchin wrote:
