The movie “Flight Of The Intruder” premiered on Friday, 1/18/91. Most movies premiere on Fridays and the previous day, a Thursday, was 59 months, 3 days, after 2/14/86, the day I think I was shot down over the continent of Africa.
Flight of the Intruder (1991)
US Theatrical Release Date: January 18, 1991
Tagline: The only thing they can count on is each other.
Plot Synopsis: After his co-pilot is killed, Jake Grafton, a carrier-based Intruder pilot, questions the purpose of Navy bombing missions. He finds an ally for his cynicism in Virgil Cole, a weapon's officer on his third tour of duty, and together they ponder the notion of one unsanctioned mission "downtown", to "Sam City" in North Vietnam.
I think the movie reflects that I was shot down, but the operation portrayed in the movie iteself, I believe, reflects something actually from the Vietnam War, but I am not sure what it was. But it could be that we were attacking a terrorist stronghold in 1986 but was shot down. I don’t know if we completed our mission.
I bought again today a copy of the book and it is copyright 1986. I don’t know if the book was completed before I was shot down. It could be another case of the terrorists making my life imitate my art, which is the “Iron Eagle” theory I wrote of earlier. The terrorists at Microsoft-Corbis knew what the book was going to be about and worked to see something like that happen to me.
I distinctly remember one day I was sitting in a conference room with 2 co-workers and one them mentioned something about taking me “downtown” with her. My immediate responded something about how that was a good idea if you need a “bad ass” with you. I puzzled for a long time over why I responded like that as I am usually a lot more laid back. I would eventually decide I was flirting with her. I would start puzzling over that again later after the thoughts that I was a pilot in the Osirak strike of 1981, which was near downtown Baghdad. I think it was a good ways outside of downtown Baghdad, although Baghdad actually covers a great deal of landscape, but I am sure the F-16 pilot’s who bombed the building could clearly see downtown Baghdad. I remember that conversation with her very well where she mentioned taking me downtown, because the Nisqually earthquake hit right after that while we were still sitting in that conference room. I remember thinking recently about how I think Microsoft-Corbis arranged to have Ironman Utah on June 8, 2002, in Provo, Utah, to instigate terrorism against me, because of the connection to 6/7/81 and to the Provo wing of the IRA. I remember thinking about that big storm that blew in right at the beginning of that triathlon swim start and just wrecked the swim course, leaving one fatality. There is a “Vanilla Sky” quality to all this.
Monday, 10/22/90 was 3 years, 5 months, 9 days, after 5/13/87, the date I think I completed my escape from Africa. This movie, "Quigley Down Under," released 3 days earlier, as most movies release on Fridays.
I’m not sure how much this movie reflects my experiences in Africa in 1986 and 1987. The primary elements, I think, are that I was a highly skilled sharpshooter but I was betrayed at some point which resulted in a long walk through the desert. I think that I was found my locals somewhere and stayed in a village for a while. I might have been captured again at some point though and thrown into a cage. I have been thinking that plot element of “Crazy Cora” calling him “Roy” has something to do with my last name Ray. I think that element was incorporated into “Die Hard” as well. I have been thinking for a while that I am related somehow to Tom Selleck but I am not sure how. He might have been married to someone I was related to; I’m not certain.
The thought occurred to me that I am a judge with the FISA court. I can’t remember any other details, but I think it will all start coming back to me soon.
