My Dad flew carrier based Corsairs in WWII. My Dad was the first Navy pilot ever to fly a jet. He was checked out by Chuck Yeager and still has the flight book to prove it.

My Dad is a true war hero. My Dad is supporting John Kerry.

You can't stop at Mach-1+, go behind some weeds and take a crap, call your Boss on the walkie-talkie, get additional directions if you've stumbled into trouble, or call in fire support. At altitude and speed, you have to deal with the immediate - immediately and without errors if you plan on coming back.
