I'm a Channel 9 junkie. Sometimes, though, listening can make your heart race. On a recent flight a Beech 19 landing in Denver had problems on final approach and asked to be vectored out to review the problems. A few minutes later that approach control asked two or three times (without response) if there was something she could do to assist. Finally, the Beech pilot came back on and said that they were having problems getting the flaps to go down. In the end, they landed sans flaps--fast and long--but everyone was safe and sound.
