28. I never forgot the pilot saying "I don't need that engine."

It has stuck with me for some reason.

Many of the pilots and flight crew onboard were WWII, Korean vets headed for Viet Nam.
So they knew the score, but keeping the wives and kids calm.
But heck, maybe the pilot didn't need that engine anyway.

You must have a very interesting career in military aerospace.
I used to know pilots who worked at Edwards, doing the flight testing.
Now that is an interesting bunch of pilots.
