Many Pilots Supporting One Voice for GA from Av8rdan's World of Flying by Dan Pimentel
I am at this moment cruising at FL 360 over Michigan in one of GoJet's sparkling brand new CRJ-700 ships serving as United Express 7405 from Syracuse into ORD. As we slip through the sky free of any of those nasty surly bonds, I marvel as I look down to see that each little 'berg along our route has a long sliver of tarmac or concrete at the edge of town with tiny specks of white dotting a large ramp area. The "tiny specks" are someone's Cessna, or Piper, or Cirrus, and they are parked in front of possibly a small shack serving as the bathroom/flight school/airplane gas stations we commonly refer to as FBOs.

When you’re a first-generation operational jet bomber at the end of your service life, watching those upstart B-47’s blast past you, showing off their shiny swept wings and scoring all the chicks, there’s nothing left for it but to go and crash yourself into an enemy target. At least that seems to be the message of this 1950 North American Aviation concept for a “B-45C Airplane Missile.”
