Knowing what I know of rockets back in those days, that would scare the stuffins out of me.

Re: How's this for a hot ride?
At first glance it looks like the engines were on fire. Glad to see they weren't. Men were most definitely men in those days. The latest movie on the Tuskegee Airmen "Redtails" made my eyes sweat more than once while watching it. Made me think of an old black gentleman that I delivered posts to at my last job I was at. He was a mechanic for the Red Tails . . . They truly were the greatest generation. Excuse me . . . the screen is getting hard to see.

Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes.

I salute all those pilots mentioned above.
