I read all these posts and think back to when, as a 7 year old, I flew from Johannesburg to Brazzaville in a DC6 - and watched as a prop got feathered along the way.

After watching the prop stop, my gaze shifted to the ground as I was sure that I was viewing where we were going to end up next and it didn't look good.

I wasn't scared at all. I was terrified.

One good thing - it made landing in San Diego and taking off from John Wayne seem like a piece of cake.
