That is 24 years ago. I have to fly into a lot of obscure places in my job and all I can say is that when I get on an Air Canada plane to come home there is no feeling like it. Their pilots are top knotch, I know one who flew combat missions in CF-18's in Gulf War I and I always have a look at the piolts when boarding, if they look 40 to 60 I am pretty confident they are military trained and have the skills needed to pull off something like this.
