NPR interviewed the pilot of the DC3 that crashed in Florida this week. Good overall interview. I'll post a link when NPR does
 
I thought one of the network morning shows had them on as an 'exclusive' this past week. Maybe exclusive doesn't have the same meaning for them as it does for the rest of us.
Overall, after seeing the report on the crash, pretty damned remarkable and great piloting.

The pilot explained that in addition to the loss of power on one engine, they were unable to feather that prop and the gear was down at the time of failure. I'd say he did a heck of a job just preventing a VMC rollover and the selecting of a relatively clear crash zone was just plain awesome piloting (or luck).
