I just heard this on the news. the man was flying a really cool looking twin pusher. Another pilot spoke up about how he sounded and ATC talked him down.

Has anyone else heard this?

From what I heard, he was at 024 alt. and was talked down to 018 before his speach started to improve and you could understand what he was saying.

Fly Smart.

I've heard similar posts on youtube, certainly points out the dangers of hypoxia. The FARs are pretty clear on this.

Last week the National Air Traffic Controllers Association honored Hollingsworth with its Medal of Safety award. She was one of 12 controllers credited with a remarkable save. It was humbling she said, a big honor.

This week she received something else, a notice of furlough.

That is a bummer but it says the furlough is that she has to take a day off every few weeks.
