Comments on: No Detail Is Insignificant For A Fighter Pilothttp://www.becomefighterpilot.com/no-detail-is-insignificant/Tue, 17 Aug 2010 04:14:35 +0000hourly1By: Luke Kaminskihttp://www.becomefighterpilot.com/no-detail-is-insignificant/#comment-249Tue, 17 Aug 2010 04:14:35 +0000http://www.afterburnerclub.com/?p=1359#comment-249I’m a private pilot, (17 years old) sometimes the guys at the FBO pull my chain because i spend so long inspecting my cessna, one time we were flying from Key West florida heading to miami and we had an engine failure, luckily we were able to restart it and land safely, turns out we sumped the tanks and got a TON of water in the fuel, just because someone has a date, doesnt mean you should rush to get home and fail to safely inspect your aircraft. Thanks Ed

Good job. I was designated a Naval Aviator 3/1/57. Flew the S-2, A-1,
F-9, and A-4. 12 years active 14 reserve. Retired 4/1/81 as 0-6. 334 traps. 8/64-8/66 Cat Officer on CVA-62, USS Independence. We had a saying,”When the tension bar breaks, all decisions are final and no mistakes are allowed.” Most people go through life never facing life or death decisions. As you say, details are important.

Great site.
