I've always loved planes. I'm fascinated by flying. The first thing I can remember wanting to be when I grew up was a fighter pilot.
The military, however, frowns on putting 6'5" guys who are almost legally blind in charge of $57 million aircraft. The bastards.
I've just watched about 4 hours of Carrier on PBS. Jesus Christ I don't know how these people (average age - 24) do this. 5,200 sailors and airmen on a floating city. Living under an airport and above a nuclear reactor.
Jesus. These folks are hardcore.
I mentioned the other day at work that I feel like I run a flightdeck. Yeah. No. Not even close. I didn't mean it. I mean ... I did. At the time, but Jesus Christ. These people are amazing.
