Guiding the Blind to a Good Landing
This is just such an amazing piece of news:
Blinded Pilot Guided to Land by the Royal Air Force
Some of you may know I do go soaring in gliders so to read about this event is just amazing and shows the skills of the RAF team involved in bringing down the pilot who had gone blind WHILST FLYING HIS CESSNA AT 15 THOUSAND FEET.
I'm just sat here thinking I'd have been so terrified and then so mightily relieved to have had the RAF help me down to a safe landing. Good one guys.
Still its sad to see the old fella had a stroke and is seriously unwell, lets just hope he makes a significant recovery soon.
