The part I didn't mention is that he is an Air Force C-5 pilot and is presently undergoing chemotherapy for an inoperable brain tumor that was diagnosed Sep 07.
This may have been his last flight as a pilot (as soon as the gear came up, Doc Hisey turned the Skyraider over to him).
I felt compelled to AT LEAST take him out to the airport and just see where the chips fell. Luckily, it all came together. ;)

You are a 5 "A" type of guy Tom
