As much as I am grateful to live in a time where going to war for every individual isn't necessary I am still envious that at one point, countless other 21 year olds were flying Cargo, Fighter, and Bomber aircraft.

I've often heard from veterans that this was their most exhilarating and exciting part of there lives.
