Quote context

[...]

- Is there a specific instance in an airplane emergency when you can recall fear?

- Uh, well, I'll tell you, I remember this one time, I'm in a Banshee at night in combat conditions, so there's no running lights on the carrier.

- It was the Shangri-la, and we were in the Sea of Japan. And my radar had jammed...

- And my homing signal was gone because somebody in Japan was actually using the same frequency, and so it was leading me away from where I was supposed to be.

- And I'm looking down at a big, black ocean, so I flip on my map light.

- And then, suddenly, zap, everything shorts out right there in my cockpit.

- All my instruments are gone. My lights are gone and I can't even tell what my altitude is.

- I know I'm running out of fuel, so I'm thinking about ditching into the ocean.

- I look down there and then, in the darkness, there's this green trail. It's like a long carpet that's just laid out right beneath me. It was the algae. Right.

- It was that phosphorescent stuff that gets churned up in the wake of a big ship. And it was just leading me home.

- Now, if my cockpit lights hadn't shorted out, there's no way I'd have ever been able to see that.

Houston, we have a problem.

There's 1,000 things that have to happen in order. We are on number eight. You're talking about number 692.

And that's it. We just put Sir Isaac Newton in the driver's seat.

It's like flying with a dead elephant on our back.

You need a break? -If they don't get one, I don't get one.
