Flight 1992

 

 

 

Worldair 1992 turn left heading 270, descend and maintain 8,000. Roger out of 9 for 8 Worldair 1992. Captain Leo Stutz and Co Pilot Brad Henry had been flying together for the month of December. They had started in Cincinnati around 11am then flew to Detroit Michigan then to Nashville, TN. It was now night time and they were on the last leg from Nashville into Indianapolis, Indiana.

 

Worldair turn right heading 300, descend and maintain 6,000 feet and contact Indianapolis approach on 125.6.  Roger out of 8 for 6 turning right to 300 Worldair 1992.  Worldair 1992 acknowledge Lima as there has been moderate to severe icing reported on the approach.

 

When flying into any airport there is an acronym named ATIS. ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information System) that gives you the weather, temperature, visibility, winds, landing runway and any other pertinent information the pilot needs to know for landing. The non flying pilot will usually work the radios. This flight into Indianapolis Brad Henry was flying and Leo Stutz was talking on the radio. Leo was a no nonsense ex military fighter pilot. Everything was by the book. Leo had the buzz cut to show it. Leo started writing down “Indianapolis weather 22:00 Zulu, Temp 31 degrees sleet and freezing rain, ceiling 700 feet visibility ½ mile and fog, winds from 050 at 10 mph, landing runway 5 Right confirm you have Lima”.  Leo clicked the mike, “Indianapolis approach Worldair 1992 has Lima. Roger Worldair 1992 turn right heading 360 descend and maintain 3,000 feet. Roger Worldair 1992 descending to 3,000 feet turning right to 360.

 

“Leo what a day”, said Brad. “I can’t wait to get to the hotel tonight and throw back a few beers”. “I know Brad maybe we can get those same ladies to buy us drinks the last time we were here.” “OK sounds great let’s get this thing on the ground and call it a day”. Worldair 1992 maintain 3,000 and turn right heading 020 and intercept the localizer for runway 5 right. Roger Worldair 1992 maintain 3,000 feet turning right 020 to intercept localizer for 5 Right.

 

“Leo looks like we are picking up quite a bit of ice and I can feel it in the flight controls. Make sure we get the landing checklist right. Ready Brad, yea go ahead Leo.  Circuit breakers in, check. Fuel pumps on, check. Landing lights on, Check. Anti Ice on, Check. Ok good for now till we get over the outer marker. Localizer alive, roger Leo turning to intercept. Brad look at that windshield wiper”. Since it is almost impossible to see the wing of an airplane the pilot has to use other clues to see how much ice the outer surfaces are picking up of ice. The mechanism where the wiper blade has a hinge always accumulates ice. Also when the aircrafts speed drops you know ice is on the wings. The ice within a matter of minutes looked the size of a baseball on the windshield wiper blade. “Brad I am cycling the boots and the props. POW, POW, POW, man what was that Leo? We had a lot of ice on the props and when the props started to heat they threw the ice against the side of the aircraft. Keep up the heading and altitude Brad I am going to talk to the passengers and tell them what they just heard. Roger Leo.”

 

“Ladies and gentleman this is your Captain speaking sorry for the load noise you just heard. That was our props heating up and throwing off the excess ice. We should be on the ground in about 7 minutes. Flight attendants prepare for arrival.”

 

Worldair 1992 descend and maintain 2,500 feet, slow to 150 knots you are 4 miles from the outer marker contact Indianapolis tower 119.9. Roger approach Worldair descending to 2,500 contacting Tower 119.9. Indianapolis tower Worldair 1992 down to 2,500 feet slowing to 150 knots.  Roger Worldair 1992 cleared to land runway 5 Right. Roger Indianapolis Tower cleared to land runway 5 Right. OK Brad landing checklist, Flaps 15 degrees reduce to 130 knots. FULL POWER Leo I need FULL POWER. Brad WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING. More Power, More Power Leo, I can’t control this damn thing……….

Ether it looks like we have Brad Henry in our grasp tonight. In just a few moments he will spend eternity in hell. Now Satan I know you have power but don’t you have to check with Jesus? DON’T ever say that name in front of me again Ether do you understand. Yes, yes master and please let go of my throat. This time I am just going to kill him and bring some passengers along for the ride. How does that sound Ether? Sounds good to me Prince. Brad has always been a womanizer I want to keep his mind on drinking and women. The ice I am putting on this plane will bring them down in just a few seconds. Now tell me again why all the other people on the plane are going to hell tonight too? Well there are a few on board tonight that have professed their faith for J and I can’t touch them. They will have an earthly death tonight but sorry to say will be in heaven. We lost those but we haven’t lost Brad. I have kept him busy with his lustful heart, idolizing money and drinking. He is still mad at J for taking his father at a young age. Yea that was a good one prince. I made him think that J took his dad when it was me that killed his father.

It was that time of the day when the angels came to get their orders from Jesus. “As you know Satan and his demons are trying to destroy those who have not accepted my free gift of salvation. They have no power so we have to fight for them. Gabriel stood up and said “Tonight one you have destined to inherit salvation on November 29, 1992 is trying to be destroyed tonight. Yes I know Gabriel. I created Brad Henry and have been with him everyday of his life. He thinks I am the one who killed his father and he doesn’t want anything to do with me. But I know his heart and even though it is December 22, 1983 I will not let Satan have him tonight or forever for that matter. He is mine but he must suffer many trials as Brad is a prideful person. I have been very amused at times with Brads life as he has tried and failed so many times you would think by now he would have asked me for help. So why hasn’t he Gabriel asked? I want people to come to me because they love me not because I force myself on them. For right now Gabriel send angels immediately to hold up that aircraft and bring them back on the ground safely, then get me Satan”.

 

“Jesus the angels have been dispatched said Gabriel. I am also interested in the life of Brad Henry. If I may can I ask you why it is taking him so long to make up his mind. You know Gabriel that to me a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like a day. So in essence from the beginning of time men have been trying to figure me out. Man spends countless hours trying to understand what will never be revealed this side of heaven. I have left a place in each man’s heart just for me. They try to put boats, cars, money, lust, power and things in that hole but it is only I Gabriel that can fill that empty void. So why don’t you stop Brad’s pain and make him see you for who you are. All in good time Gabriel all in good time.”
