“I Loved That Jet”
Take a jet ride at Maggie’s Farm. Read a book while you’re there.

Reminds me of the best job I ever had, H-46 aircraft commander. The four of us could do anything with that ship, and it was not near the piece of gear the SR71 was.
Bless your heart Major. Millions escaped the lifetime prison of Communism because of people like you.

I pull the throttles to the min ‘burner range and the jet still doesn’t want to slow down. Normally the Mach would be affected immediately, when making such a large throttle movement. But for just a few moments old 960 just sat out there at the high Mach, she seemed to love and like the proud Sled she was, only began to slow when we were well out of danger.
Lovely, lovely writing. I got a little misty-eyed there at the end.
