| |
|
| McKay: |
Little
dive brakes. What was that last altitude check? |
| |
|
| Chase: |
20,000,
Jack, and 300 knots. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Coming
in on the dive brakes. Circuit breakers are in. |

OK,
you look in good shape. You can bring the speed brakes in now, I think. |
| |
|
| McKay: |
Wait
just a little. OK, coming in. |
