“Everyone completely ignored this astronaut up on the stage who was in the middle of some story, but instead of him being put out about it, he could be heard to encourage the audience to turn around and watch: “Go ahead and watch! We are aviation enthusiasts up here too, and all of us are watching too!”
That is super cool! It would be a keeper for me too. What an honor for himself also, not everyone gets the honor of being interrupted by an SST takeoff! I’ll bet he never forgot it either! lol
It was a grand thing. I am one of those people-my wife laughs at me, when we are outside in the yard or pretty much anywhere, if I hear a plane or helicopter, I have to look...:)
I am an aviation nut, no doubt...and it was nice to see that you apparently don’t grow out of it...
