Dead Stick
"Big John" wrote in message ... Matt You can hear very clear he was reported at 7 miles and 9K which in round figures is 3.5 to 1 needed to make field. Since he made it he at least made that glide ratio. If he was high when close to field he may have dumped it and picked up a 1 to 1 to burn off excess altitude??? Bottom line. Excellent job and he made it and saved the Governmet $50 Mil +/-. Big John I guess he is lucky he did not drop the tanks on top of someone... It was a good job but relatively easy with chase, etc...
