My father said he made it in aviation when he graduated pilot training and got his wings with the best bunch of guys he's ever known. He was humbled to have been given the opportunity by his country to serve along side people much better than him. He never forgot that he was a pilot and that people expected him to do a professional job everyday. He made it a point to never let down his squadron mates, his country, his family...

I wish I had been medically qualified to follow in his foot steps...
