COULD AN UNTRAINED PERSON
LAND A JETLINER IN AN EMERGENCY? I could, but only if I could plug in a keyboard and mouse, and run Flight Simulator . . . .
Based on several viewings of Independence Day, this doesn't sound improbable. It was apparently simple enough to hook up a Macintosh laptop to an alien spacecraft in order to give its mothership a virus even way back in the mid-90s. If only the aliens had been using Linux, like I do, they would have been fine.
