Hi to all. Well, after having dealing with the BEA report on the Air France A330 accident 3 years ago in the past days, I've continued reading Richard Bach 'Stranger to the Groung' book...
It's amazing. There's been a gap of about 35 years between my two readings of the book. This one, the second one, is extremely more gratifying than the first one. Apart of barely remember the story in general and some special parts of it (like the 24-ship departure in a month of July for an airshow at their home base, being Richard's ship the last to take off), no special memories of it...
A lot of time have passed between the two readings. And several things have happened during this period:
A) My English has improved a lot, to levels I couldn't have dreamed of 35 years ago. I can read the book now as if it was written in Spanish, my native language.
B) My knowledge about fighter planes operations (of any age) has improved by 10, at least, during all these years, and
C) In this 35-year period I've read a lot of books by Richard Bach that have let me into his philosophy of life. This helps a lot...
I've tried to 'copy and paste' some phrases from this book, beautiful ones, just to show you them. Impossible. E-books from Amazon can only be shown up in your computer monitor through its 'Kindle' software. And once opened a book, you cannot copy any word of it to the Windows Clipboard...
Anyway, if you're an Aviation freak, I strongly recommend this book. But, I insist, you've got to have a very sound knowledge of the 'sixties fighters operation to really enjoy it
I love you all.
