Watched it last night. Wonderful.
My favorite song is the pilot's song, "Me and the Sky." Her lyrics tell her story of flying -- beginning with her always knowing she wanted to fly, from the time she was a little girl, to being the first woman captain for American.
Her song about her lifetime love of flying reinforced my theory about pilots being born to fly and always knowing. I have never asked any pilot who did not know, from earliest memory.
Pilots especially might like the lyrics. . ."Nothing between me and the sky."
Anybody from my hometown who is tuned into flying at all has probably heard of Martha Lunken -- our "First Lady of Flying." (She is grounded right now because she flew under that tempting bridge again. Damn. She knew better. I think she is 78 now and intrepid as ever.) She writes for Flying magazine -- or did. I think she is on hiatus from her column for a while.
But I digress -- got carried away on my theory that pilots are born that way. I know this to be true.

PS: If you are not doing anything this evening, maybe tune into Apple TV to watch Come From Away -- as we remember the way we were. . .
