A tragic outcome for captain FLUFFY who lost 1 of his crew and 2 passengers. FLUFFY: Uh, this is the captain... we are now at 1800 feet. Assume 78 degree V formation and prepare to level out. Hangten: Roger that captain. Jostling for position is about completed. Please advise on heading. FLUFFY: Hangten, turning left two-two-zero. Hangten: Following your lead. Hangten: Uh, captain... stiffbird coming in fast on right flank. FLUFFY: Roger that. Turning right 2-8-0. Hangten: Uh... stiffbird changing course also. Can we turn around and, uh, go back? FLUFFY: We're unable. We may end up in the engines. Hangten: We can land in the Hudson. I see a spot... FLUFFY: We can't do it. Hangten: How about down there by that little floaty thingy. FLUFFY: We're going to be in the engines. Hangten: I’m-I’m sorry - say again, captain? <span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: arial, helvetica; color: #330099"><i><b>[Way to go, JimR. - ed.]</b></i></span> I just received the transcript from Canada Goose Squad V43, Smitty’s Pond, Canada.
