Correct. Yeah. Mitsubishi, I think it is, the good on them for the manufacturer that these folks lived in the seats. Thankfully, or I guess I can say thankfully, this MSAP was on landing, so that aircraft wasn't packed full of fuel. This could be a whole different story if this happened on takeoff. You know, they were coming into land full of fuel for whatever reason.

The crash rescue folks, they are they're literally sitting in different alert positions on these airfields. They are waiting for something like this to happen. It's sad to say, but as a crash rescue crewman, I don't ever want to be used, but I'm ready to be used. They were on that that crash almost immediately and they were foaming down the aircraft to to protect against the fire.

But this literally it's got to come up to a higher power, because as I saw you know, this mishap occur. And then I saw the video. I'm like, I'm absolutely stunned that more people didn't get hurt. And real quick to what, and I have to admit something. So in my aviation career, I'm going to age myself. Whenever Greg is on TV, you know, the mishap is going to be figured out.

This guy has got all the experience in the world. I'd see him in press conferences or, you know, air show or air crash type of documentaries. And this guy is the 500 pound head.

But to his point, Megan, the more autopilot you use, the less meat and potato flying skills that pilots have. And if you are taking off and landing, or yeah, Greg can probably speak to this better than I can, the majority of mishaps are going to happen in takeoff and landing. So the dependence or the over-dependence on an autopilot is a little scary.

I mean, we have the capability for an F-18 Hornet to land aboard the boat by itself with me as a passenger, but we used to joke like, Hey, if I'm going to be a flaming ball of wreckage going down the flight deck, I'm going to do it. Not some nerd from Microsoft, right? Some autopilot. So there's got to be a happy balance between autopilot and losing stick and rudder skills, you know?

No, I was just going to say, we also have a saying in aviation, if there's any doubt, there's no doubt. So the pilot not flying in this case, if they saw this massive rate of descent coming, like, man, we're going to slam. When in doubt, go around, right? When in doubt, there's no doubt. Go back up. They could have easily, go try it again.

You have enough gas to go try three, four, five other landings. And if it's too windy, go to a divert field. So when in doubt, do not try and salvage a bad approach because bad things happen.
