(at around 23 mins) As the jets are flying in close formation, the DC-9 pilot is told to "slow to 150 knots" and to "descend to flight level 140". Both of these phrases are incorrect. In the United States airspace system, the term Flight Level is only used at 18,000 feet and above - flight level is a measure of hundreds of feet (Flight Level 310 = 31,000 feet above sea level). There is no Flight Level 140; it would be expressed as 14,000 feet.
