I always wanted to be a pilot... Never had the courage to do it though. I'm pretty afraid of flying, although I will do it when I have to. I'd rather stay on the ground.
Ya' can't go wrong, when each new day brings yet another "better and more efficient way to kill your enemies!"---LOL!!! But---a necessary evil, it is! And, I'm surprised this bundle of computers and sensors even has a place for a human pilot!
But I'll always be a fan of the old radial-engines---especially the B-17. Once heard a fella refer to the sound it made on start-up, comparing it to "a wino fallin' over a dozen trash cans in an alley at 3 o'clock in the morning."
Just a kid, stuck in the body of this fat bastard...
Still tryin' to figure out how to be the man I wanna be, with the help of some good friends.
