Sing,
Had a lot of the same happen. Loads of emails and cell phone calls saying "please answer" .... I fly the 604 but many people cannot tell one large white private jet from another.
I know the Captain of the bird in Teterhole, flew with him in Berlin. Sounds like they had a hyd actuator or three not working on the horiz stab. Said (through the lawyer... interesting...) that the stick would not go back more than an inch when he tried to rotate.
Report says that they aborted at 176 knots and was still going 104 knots when the CVR stopped working, assume at point of impact with the building. I hate Teterhole... too damm many things around there and no room to safely get stopped if something like this happens.
Just did the same thing you did all week long, now off for a week then got a "crossing" to Bermuda and Spain. Does it ever slow down??!!
