This reminds of a very good movie, The Great Santini. I won't tell you the ending, but it is a little bit different than what happened here.

Nice reference. Remember the basketball scene?

I wonder if, among other pilots, he didn't follow an unwritten rule on this one - to stay with it until it was over the brush. I'm not one to say.

When you look at the base, man he was so close. How long to cover two miles at that speed? Eight, nine seconds?
