Var det ikke Rowan Atkinson som landet en bizjet da piloten hans kollapset?

 

HAHA, jeg ville ikke foelt meg trygg med Beanern som pilot.

På en annen side - hvor stor tror dere muligheten er for at dere sitter i en 737 og begge pilotene kolapser slik at de ikke kan fly og at en "sofapilot" kommer som den reddende engel og lander flyet til stor jubel fra alle pax og flyplassansatte. Mye heder og ære i aviser, radio og tv.

 

Tja, tror ikke sjansen er stor nei. Men det går jo å drømme.

Nja.. Det er vel en smule overdrevet....

IN A SITUATION reminiscent of a Mr Bean comedy skit, actor Rowan Atkinson and his family were involved in a terrifying mid-air incident while vacationing in Kenya on 25 February (2001).

 

Their chartered Cessna 402 was flying at 16,000ft, enroute to Nairobi from Mombasa, when their pilot passed out 45 minutes into the trip.

In the co-pilot’s seat, Atkinson alerted his wife, Sunetra and two children, Ben and Lily. They then attempted to revive the pilot, with no effect.

 

The plane then began to lurch violently and started losing altitude. Even though he had not flown previously, Atkinson took control and was able to steady the aircraft before bringing its nose back up.

As unexpectedly as he passed out, the pilot suddenly came to and resumed control, unaware he had been unconscious for several minutes.

 

The aircraft landed safely and on time, the incident not putting the Atkinsons off flying enough to prevent them from returning home to London that day.

Although the Atkinsons had suspected the pilot experienced a heart attack at the time, it is possible the European man was dehydrated in the equatorial heat.

The pilot later stated he believed he had only passed out for a few seconds.
