cool story
My daughter in laws father is a retired Navy fighter pilot. He flew combat missions in the Balkans in the 90's.
Last week he went with his GF to visit an aviation museum, and there was an F-14 Tomcat on display. Not just any F-14... it was his, the very one he flew. Still had his name on the side of the cockpit. He couldn't believe it. They let him get in it and take some pics too.
What a coincidence.
