Am up early this particular 24th and this hotel has the National Geographic channel. So one more time I am getting to see the Sioux City story.
If you don't know what the Sioux City story is.....stop what you're doing and get onto Google.
Truth is, that happened at about the same time as the dispute and has far more defined my life than anything Hawke ever did. Everyone of us has been touched by that wonderful piece of airmanship, almost unmatched ever. My life has been one of "I hope I could be that good" ever since. Professional airmanship of that order is the goal we all should have. Squabbling and angst help little.
Happy 24th, may there be many more safe anniversaries.
