I have been thinking a lot about that scene recently in "Battlestar Galactica." I imagine or remember that I did something similar as I was about to land on an aircraft carrier. It was a highly crazy maneuver but I had a reason. I am thinking that I had just shot down two Libyan fighters and I did it for that reason. I wasn't showing off but I had a suspicion that at least one person on the carrier was reporting my movements and the Libyans, possibly even Soviet fighters, were sent up specifically to shoot me down. I got both of them though and I wanted to do something to cause some chatter. That was one reason. Another is that I was hoping to de-motivate them from attacking me again by showing them just how capable a pilot I was. Everything I read suggests that landing on an aircraft carrier is stressful enough on a good day. So I wanted to do something stunning that would show I was good enough to make such a maneuver even after the intense stress of that combat engagement where they sent up their best to get me. My thoughts are that just as I about to land on the carrier, I pulled what I think is called a barrel-roll. That's not the same as Claire describes as the over-turn performed by Raz over Osirak. Rather, it is similar to that scene recently when "Starbuck" rolled over the top of "Apollo's" ship. I did that and still made a perfect 3-wire landing on the deck. The Captain flipped out over that and my thoughts are conflicted over whether I explained why I did it. I might not have told him because I trusted no one. They were going to pull my wings but somehow I told President Reagan about it, or I didn't have to tell him anything and he had it figured out too and he did his part to keep me flying. So that one objective was to de-motivate them with that stunt. But another objective was to generate chatter that we could use to track down the people reporting my movements to the enemy.

There are people now though that I do trust.

I have had a lot of thoughts about something I might have been part of in Vietnam. A lot of thoughts I can't articulate. Something about refugees. Thoughts about flying air cover for refugees that were being transported out. I might have flown out some of those refugees too.

The CAG probably called me a maniac for pulling that stunt on approach to the carrier.

And the way you landed that plane
was nothing short of a miracle.
Know that.

Home for me is the basement.
They keep cancer treatment
in the basement.
What kind of cancer you got?
Fibromyxoid sarcoma.
Soft tissue sarcoma.
Very rare. God chose me.
You believe that?
Fuck, yeah, bitch.
You're a stupid fucker
if you don't believe in God.
Once you realize all the random
events in your life are God,
you will live a much easier life.
We spend all our time
trying to control all these things
that happen to us, it's bullshit.
The plane you're flying goes down?
Out of your control.
God gives you cancer?
l got no control over that.
Did God give me cancer?
You bet your ass God gave me cancer.
You know, do you think
God would have
given me cancer if l'd asked for it?
l don't think so,
'cause l begged him
to take it away and guess what?
No control over that, either.
What are you doing here, honey?
You're beautiful, you know that?
Do l scare you?
People are either drawn to me,
or they pretend like they can't see me.

Quotes


Gaunt Young Man: Do I scare you? People are either drawn to me, or they pretend like they can't see me. It's a trip. They think because I'm close to the other side, I got some sort of power or wisdom.

Is that why you think you're going to die?
Heroin addicts who use needles,
they tend to die.
Especially women, for some reason.
I read that in a pamphlet.
