niart17 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Quote from the article," I spend the entire flight from the time we’re taking off until we land talking to my pilot,” So basically, she's just like my wife then. "Did you remember to check the flaps? Don't forget to make sure we're filled up. I hope we miss the rush hour traffic. I told you to take runway 8...but noooo...you had to go on your own way and....If we're late...." Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ikar Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 And to think that I always hated to fly. I would only do it if absolutely necessary, like getting from one assignment or school to another or if a mission necessity like a recon flight outside the base perimeter or a aircraft wreck. I even turned down rides in fighters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carlizle84 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Wow, Ms. Kaszynski sounds like one hell of a woman. I wish somebody would get some of those 457th FS birds in decal form that she took pictures of in the link. Those are some good looking Vipers. *cough* Speedhunter *couch* *cough* Edited October 9, 2014 by carlizle84 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
