The pilot was obviously cool-headed, since he decided to investigate how the aircraft handled in this configuration while he dumped what fuel he could. After about 24 minu More..

I liked the smaller COD I myself. Especially around Christmas time when you would see one and a couple of C-2's breaking the bow and lining up !
