Tales from the cockpit

Skylar Kingman is a senior pilot This is his last flight as he must retire tomorrow. He has spent his life accruing anecdotes about flying he?s gathered from personal experience and from other pilots. He spends the hours of his last flight telling these stories to his two young female crewmembers. Stories include: A student pilot who bails out after creating havoc over L.A. Combat veterans from Vietnam on a R&R (Rest and Recuperation) flight to Sydney. My most frightening time in an airplane. A Military student who goofs and lands gear up and manages to become a hero. A heroic stewardess named ?Ding-a-ling?. Three training planes crash in a field. All the stories have an element of truth in them?how much? That varies.
