Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machines: Heroes & Relics
Believe that some good thing is possible, find the principle that makes it so, put the principle into practice, there you have it - Freedom Richard Bach As related in the previous two posts, Remembered Sky certainly flows from my own personal experiences with aviation, but its future depends heavily upon the people either in or related to those stories to expand the storyline on the basis and through their own perception, and then on relating their further adventures. In a sense the site is a series of branches and sequels, but it requires firm grounding in the history [...]

Aviators in particular are notorious for that instantaneous hands in the air “and their I was, flat on my back, running out of airspeed, altitude and gas… but here’s what I did…” – airshow time at the bar. Late 1999 I experienced that moment when daughter Tracey – made in Hong Kong 1972 in the midst of the war over Vietnam – announced she was bringing home for Christmas an F-14 Tomcat [...]
