"THE MAN WHO RODE THE THUNDER" Must Find!

I have to find this book! It's the TRUE story of an ejection at thirty-thousand feet through the middle of a torrential downpour. The heartpounding account is relived by the Marine himself; Lt. Col. William H. Rankin. Did I mention "failing parachute?" I can't find a copy for less than $60!

The Punch Out

EJECT EJECT EJECT EJECT EJECT

Can't beat this NPR interview with author/pilot James Cross on his new book, "Punching Out." Cross details the "actual" events of a pilots ejection from an aircraft, and debunks any thought of pleasant emergency parachuting.

I think Controller is one of my favorite websites when it comes to flying. If you want to learn about different years and models, this is a great place to get that information. I kinda feel like Joe Dirt with an "Auto-Trader" magazine. "Daaannnng this thangs got 300 horsepower. Plum crazy purple. That's a deal!"
