  Any landing is a good landing.

    Seems close to what a pilot friend once told me in a discussion on hard and soft landings, of passenger plans obvioously, “any landing where passenges can walk out on their own legs is a soft landing”.

That prayer just might carry him when the wing doesn’t

  I’m sure he doesn’t want angel wings any time soon.

  The Air Force uses that. This is a navy Hellcat.

    You have a good eye. Hellcats were navy carrier planes for the most part.

Did the Government folks arrest him for praying in a govt piece of property after he landed?

  Oh that separation of Church and state thing. Anyone that has been in a foxhole with stuff blowing up all around you knows what praying is all about so I don’t think the army and the rest of the services pay attention to that.

I’ve been in the air for as long as 16 hours. I hope to never have the feeling as the Lt. but I always say, if I am traveling, I’d rather go down in a plane than on a ship/boat. Just make it quick.

  I know one thing. I don’t want to die in a hospice.

I’m afraid of flying so there’s a lot of praying going on when I’m in flight! I’m just glad Lt. Turner lives to fly again! Debra

Hope he at least got a bag of peanuts before making that landing.

1986! The drawing is 26 years old! But there wasn’t any internet then. Did you draw for your school kids? Or for the local newspaper?

  I have been doing these since 1985. over 250. I have drawn 150 new ones since July 2010 when the blog went up. I did draw and illustrate part of my history lessons in high school for my students in colored chalk on the blackboard. This one was recently redone and colored in my computer. The original was black and white. An earlier version was posted in colored pencil a while back.
