Jack,
if they were former 'Clipper' pilots they are very well trained and used to these situations. :D
I recently stumbled over a story regarding former Clipper flights.
There were really bad weather at Frankfurt and the visibility was down to (below) minimums? Every other aircraft was in a holding pattern and the only aircraft attempting to land was a Pan Am 'Clipper' and whilst they reported on the deck they got the instant request to when they did see the runway and they replied: 'At minimums!'
