Eclipse Pilot MDW Story

This is in interesting article detailing the experience of the 22,000 hour captain piloting the Eclipse with stuck throttles.  It sounds like it was well handled given the co pilot was log building and not type rated in the plane.  Basically he would have handled it as a single pilot emergency.  scary stuff.

If haven't listened to it there is an interview with Vern Raebern on aero-news shortly after this happened. From the interview and reading this article from the pilot there was some pretty good spin to say the least.
