Every once in a while you hear a story about some really cool experience that a friend or family member has that’s truly unique. For example, I had a friend that got to ride in an M1-A1 Abrams tank once. They did all kinds of maneuvers that sounded pretty impressive, among them rolling through a forest of scrub pines at speed and laying down trees like blades of grass. I went to high school with him before he enlisted and became a Combat Engineer. His job, more often than not, was blowing stuff up. Some guys have all the fun.
The neatest story I’ve heard in a very long while, however, was recently posted over at my friend James’ blog at the arc of time. I won’t spoil the story, but it involves flying big jets (sort of). Go check it out.
