After nearly 40 years, Marine pilot talks about UFO encounter | Pensacola News Journal | pnj.com.

Being a science fiction nut I of course believe in two things.  1. there is intelligent life out there.  2. We have been visited by at least one of these races.  I believe in number one because of the trillions of stars that we can so far detect there has to be at least one other planet that’s developed intelligent life.  And I believe in number two just because that would be cool.

Air Force To Pilots: Slow Down.

Most of the time when I’m flying I trying to be as fuel efficient as possible.  When I’m ferry flying over the ocean or jungle the extra fuel you can save when you drop down to sixty five percent power could really come in handy some day.  And when I’m the one paying for the gas getting there twenty minutes later but saving fifty bucks makes a lot of sense, more money for beer don’t you know.  Another bonus is that lower power settings mean a cooler running engine and in the end less maintenance and a longer lasting power plant.  Now that doesn’t mean that once in a while I don’t pour the coals to the plane I’m flying because some times “I feel the need, for speed !”  Sorry about the TOPGUN quote, I just couldn’t help  myself.
