summer, tell me about a frightening incident you've had as a pilot.
Okay, I'm gonna apologize to my mom and my wife on this one.
Uh oh.
I had a smoke and fumes emergency when I was departing Guam, and we thought our airplane was on fire.
And when you have an internal fire, you have not a lot of time.
So we turned around.
We had to put the airplane on the ground very quickly.
We had a lot of gas on board.
I was in charge that day, even though the other pilot was even more senior and experienced than I was.
But I said, okay, I'm going to do these tasks.
You're going to do these tasks.
And we had separated mentally to go take care of what we needed to take care of to get that airplane back on the ground as fast as we could.
And when we reconvened, all things were done.
We had our oxygen masks on.
We landed the airplane safely and egressed the aircraft.
How scared were you at the time?
