Glad the guy is OK. Out in the Pacific is a pretty scary place to have an in-flight-emergency.

Out in the Pacific is a pretty scary place to have an in-flight-emergency.

In a single engine jet fighter with the glide ratio of a large brick.

Lots of respect for fighter pilots courage. Training can be deadly.

Yup. 12-14 hours flight to Asia (Philippines, Hong Kong etc) from North America and underneath, all water.

“11.00hrs local time Monday at the Saipan International Airport”

Hafa dai (”hello” = half a day and they joke about it), not a good time to land in Saipan. Hubby flew fish out of there for a while. I was so glad to get out of there. It’s another American welfare island Joe Average doesn’t know about.
