Well done sir ! Well done indeed. I wish they had the other tower conversation and what was being told to him on the cellphone. https://www.bizpacreview.com/2022/0...te-plane-after-pilot-passes-out-1236511/Miraculous.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

The photos I have seen of him, he looks like a guy who wouldn't get rattled very easy. He was probably a good athlete in his youth.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

This was about all I cold find on U tube Kinda close I found the tower/ pilot talk but couldn't get it to play all the way thru. the second one shows a normal Solo 1st Timer with ATC talk. My news channel completely under play ed the safe landing that was made by a person with no training. They seem to think Airplanes fly themselves https://youtu.be/pSdY-qvo9cYhttps://youtu.be/l5lTlcHUDPU

More good news on that incident: Stricken Caravan Pilot Identified as Kenneth Allen Has ‘Miracle’ Recovery (See the online article for embedded images & links) Stricken Caravan Pilot Identified as Kenneth Allen Has ‘Miracle’ Recovery Surgeon talks about treating the pilot of the airplane that a passenger landed last week in Florida. By Jonathan Welsh May 19, 2022 Stricken Caravan Pilot Identified as Kenneth Allen Has ‘Miracle’ Recovery
The pilot who lost consciousness during a flight from the Bahamas to Florida last week, resulting in a passenger having to land the airplane, has been identified as Kenneth Allen, a 64-year-old grandfather of six. And hospital officials say he is lucky to be alive.
“The story is miracle after miracle,” said Dr. Nishant Patel, the cardiothoracic surgeon who treated Allen at Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center on May 10.
Dr. Nishant Patel In a press conference Thursday, Patel said Allen suffered an acute aortic dissection, which is a tear of the inner and middle layers of the aorta, the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The life-threatening condition can compromise blood flow to other organs and lead to the aorta rupturing, he said.
In an operation that lasted from late afternoon to around midnight, Patel said he replaced the ascending part of the patient’s aorta. He said Allen, who was discharged Monday, is “resting comfortably” and is making a remarkable recovery.
Darren Harrison, the passenger who landed the Cessna Caravan safely at Palm Beach International Airport (KBPI) with the help of air traffic controllers, told the Today show’s Savannah Guthrie on Monday that he was concerned about Allen, who told him he wasn’t feeling well before becoming unresponsive.
“I knew it was not a good situation,” Harrison said.
