In these pages I will tell stories and show pictures that are still vivid in my memory.  Question: What makes memories vivid and long lasting?  Answer: Intensity. Nearly every flight I made was intense, and so I have memories from parts of hundreds of flights.  My total flying time, including student pilot, was 6,600 hours, which is a lot for military flying.
