“Those who say it can't be done are usually interrupted by others doing it.” — James Baldwin

Aerospace, aviation. Flightline, preflight, marshal an aircraft. Tech school, principles of flight, applied physics, learning the language of USAF aerospace mechanics, torque wrenches. Technical orders. IFR, rescue and recovery. Hey, the drogue deployed but the reel won't retract and the hose is full of fuel. Alpha, Bravo, Charley, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot. TDY? Yes, many. The seeds of dreams can start in childhood seeing possibilities, potential. Then aim and find a way to achieve, do, be.

How far will dreams (plus dedicated hard work) take a person passionate about aviation and learning how things work?
