Pilot Joe Duff: All four aircraft are equipped with Northwings. They're a little trickier to fly. Their stall characteristics are different, and their recovery takes a little more space. You can fly them just as slowly. They fly beautifully and there's no kingpost [with wires], so that's the whole thing right there.
Interviewer Mark Chenoweth: So no incidents like with #516 this year with the bird being trapped [in the wires of the old-style wings]
Joe Duff: No, hopefully not.
