Blind Pilot makes successful landing in Europe

Wow. Talk about a nightmare scenario. Man flying a two-seater solo has a stroke, and loses his eyesight. Air Traffic Control is unable to help the man land, so the Royal Air Force scrambles a plane up to fly in tandem with the man and to guide him down, talking him in all the way.

The PAC-10 did the right thing and offered him a job as a referee on the spot.
