Really? Wow....

Tell me more Mr. pilot....

After all, I was only a flyer in the Air Force for a little over 20+ years....

Got my Air Force wings and everything....

I've seen my share of "crash and dashes" or as they say in the civilian world -- "missed approaches." I even managed to eat my box lunch while doing it....

Hang tough Mr. Pilot in Command, hang tough.
