Hello,Captain,and other Panamairs.I don't mean to be rude,and certainly don't mean to step on anyone's toes,but this message really stood out,so I can't help but to respond:I did some research of my own.N656PA WAS the plane involved in this incident,NOT N738PA!I am very surprised that a former captain stuck in the middle of such a traumatising experience can't remember such information.You can be anyone from behind a computer,so here's a trivial question,Captain:which one of you three cockpit crew was responsible for perhaps saving your life?What was his job as a crew member?What was his name?He was trained at something which really helped that day...what was it??Good luck,and greetings.
