On Board the TBM Avenger Emergency Landing at DCA

[v2]

It's the event we will be talking about for a long time: The Arsenal of Democracy fly over. As the Grumman formation turned into over the Lincoln Memorial the TBM Avenger peeled off. They made and emergency landing at Regan National Airport (DCA). We later learned that it was a hydraulic leak. What we didn't know was that smoke filled the cockpit. Here is the video from the cockpit from the approach throut the landing.

Great debriefing by the pilot - this video could actually be used as a training/refresher tool.

Its interesting that he broke off on his own.
Greg/Jo, is that SOP over there? Our brief is to have someone stay with them
