US Navy pilots may be some of the toughest humans on the planet...Here is one example of a naval aviator who suddenly experienced decompression and loss of oxygen at 28,000 feet and still retained the presence of mind implanted by his training and dedication to land his crippled aircraft on a moving USS Eisenhower (CVN-69) while fighting back the pain of a piece of glass protruding from one eye......Ben

Great story Ben--thank you
We have a Granddaughter and her husband, who is a pilot in training at Pensacola now.
Her Daddy was a B-52 pilot and now flies wide bodies for United.
We do know that our Granddaughter and her husband are both safe. He was flying when this terrorist attack took place.
This is the happy couple in the back of the MB as we were about to leave the church.
