Episode 346: Airmen, Pilots and Aviators

Photos of young military pilots standing next to their planes always seem to feature a gaze on the face of the pilots that is unmistakeable. They are so eager to strap in and get off the runway that they seem to exerting a tremendous amount of self restraint just to keep their feet on the ground. Their minds are seemingly unattached from their bodies as they preflight what will be another adventure. Have you ever noticed that? And maybe I don’t even have to ask if you wished you could change places with them.
