Incident was 12miles out 8000ft after take off... NOT descent. The crew done a fantastic job - one which has only ever been done once before in history, and that was the DC10 mentioned above. THAT crew demand now the respect of not only aviators, but every single soul involved in aviatoin worldwide - what they acheived was quite simply remarkble and will forever be a part of aviation history. My hat off to the crew which I flew with many a time on the same route, and I will always hold each of them in the highest regard as 3 of the finest aviators the world has seen. Eric, Steve and Mario... Salut!!!!! DHL BAH A300 – no sidestick, traditional layout in the flight deck. Incident was 12miles out 8000ft after take off… NOT descent.
