Could you share a pointer to some literature on this event?  Having worked
for NASA for the past several years, I find it a bit difficult to believe
that anyone here could receive funding for such an experiment when great
advances have already been made in the realm of automated landings under
software control.  Are you sure this wasn't just an EEG machine recording
the electrical activity which the act of landing a plane produces in the
brain?
