I was astonished when I watched MythBusters last week (as I type this), and they tested the myth that an unskilled passenger can be talked through landing a commercial plane. I was astounded when they actually succeeded in doing so (in a simulator). I figured that landing a plane is so complicated that you couldn't successfully be told how to do it at the time by someone on the ground. But no, apparently it's not so difficult that this is impossible.
When Jamie managed to land the (simulated) plane, I thought, "Okay, but that's Jamie. The real test will be if Adam can do it." Lo and behold, he did it.
I figure if Adam can do it, Steve is in with a pretty good shot.
