Ok Peter, that works fine, thanks, poor gal sure had her troubles
didn't she? iced up at 10k and probably stalled it...guess she

Not sure how smart she was to press on for Bangor though (~500

I think that I may have told a fib about Alaska Air flt 261
though...the Capt did say 'mayday', just one word, near the end
of the tape (bone chilling episode for sure)...this is a
transcript of the ATC/maintenance talking to the aircraft
(transcribed from the CVR recovered from the crash site.
