Quotes

I'd hate to see an epitaph on a fighter pilot's tombstone that says, "I told you I needed training."...How do you train for the most dangerous game in the world by being as safe as possible? When you don't let a guy train because it's dangerous, you're saying, "Go fight those lions with your bare hands in that arena, because we can't teach you to learn how to use a spear. If we do, you might cut your finger while you're learning." And that's just about the same as murder.

Colonel "Boots" Boothby, USAF Fighter Pilot
