This is just amazing...WOW! A pilot had a stroke during a flight, and suddenly went blind. Can you imagine losing your sight as you drove your car? This must be 100 times worse - yet he landed OK.

And how polite and British must he be, to keep apologizing...

A British pilot who was suddenly blinded by a stroke during a solo flight was talked safely down by a military pilot, the Royal Air Force said Friday.
And how polite and British must he be, to keep apologizing...
"You could hear the apprehension in his voice over the radio and the frustration he was experiencing," said radar controller Richard Eggleton. "I kept saying 'Are you visual?' and he would reply 'No sir, negative, I'm sorry sir.' He kept on apologizing."
