Pretty much a worst-case scenario. High seas, ice cold water, gliding a
dead stick C-310 into 40-foot swells. NWPilot says he didn't start
drinking until 3 hours after the crash -- survival time in the water is
estimated at 2 hours, maximum, in a survival suit. The pilot's name was
Jeff Hall, and he helped NW get into the biz.

Raise a toast to a brave man, gents....



*salute*

Thanks for passing this on.
