Yes it did! I sure wish all airline pilots were ex-Air Force, I'd feel a lot safer when flying! (Though I never fly anywhere....but just in case I ever do.)
See, I'm learning something again! I haven't been on a plane since 2002, when I went to San Antonio, Texas. That was the last time I had a kid free vacation. It was for 3 nights of eating and drinking,,,,and laying out by the pool in the daytime on top of the hotel. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............................................

He is a certified glider pilot instructor too. He did an excellent glide with what he had. It is truly amazing.
This is why, recently, they've recognized the many service personnel I see flying these days on my planes. I've seen several standing ovations recently on flights for guys/gals coming home or heading out.
