Hero BA Pilot Retires From Flying After Fire Incidence

British Airways pilot Chris Henkey, captain of the plane that caught fire at Las Vegas on Tuesday, says he has "finished flying".He was due to make one last flight to Barbados before retiring - to meet his daughter - but he's now calling it a day.
He was hailed a hero after bringing the plane to a halt and ordering an evacuation when one of the engines caught fire as it was preparing for take-off.
The plane's 157 passengers, 10 crew and three pilots were all able to escape safely.
Mr Henkey told NBC he had been due to make one more flight before retiring - to join his daughter in Barbados, his favourite holiday destination.
But he admitted that was now looking "unlikely", adding: "It's safe to say I'm finished flying."
