“I belong to a group of men who fly alone. There is only one seat in the cockpit of a fighter airplane. There is no space alotted for another pilot to tune the radios in the weather or make the calls to air traffic control centers or to help with the emergency procedures or to call off the airspeed down final approach. There is no one else to break the solitude of a long cross-country flight. There is no one else to make decisions.” MenLongCountryHelpingSpaceDecisionBreakGroupsAirSolitudeApproachCrossesFinalsRadioWeatherFlightFighterSeatsTunesAviationCombatPilotsAirplaneTrafficEmergenciesProceduresCockpitAir Traffic ControlTraffic Control Book:Flying: The Aviation Trilogy Source: Flying: The Aviation Trilogy
“American fighters of the Pacific War were not heroes. The desperation of island combat included exchanged barbarities of which no one would willingly speak for a generation. On the American side, there were foul racism, vengeful refusals to take prisoners, a generalized brutality that extended to a savage air war.” WarSpeakSidesGenerationsAirHeroRacismFighterIslandsPrisonerCombatSavagesDesperationRefusalBrutalityFoulPacificVengefulBarbarity Author:James Carroll
“One who loves must learn fear. One who fears must learn love. The thinker must do. The doer must think. The pacifist must fight, the fighter must find peace. If you flow as a river, burn as a fire. If you burn as a furnace, flow as a river. If you fly as a bird, sit firm as a rock. If you sit firmly, then fly as a bird. Be a fire that flows. A rock that flies. Love with fear and fear with love. For we are not fire, not water, not air, not rocks, not thoughts, not deeds, not fear, not love. We are G-dly beings.” IfsThinkingFightingWaterFireAirRocksBirdFlowRiversDeedsFighterFirmThinkerFinding PeaceFear NotDoersPacifistFurnaces Author:Menachem Mendel Schneerson
