An Excellent Weapon And Luck Had Been On My Side. To Be Successful, The Best Fighter Pilot Needs Both.

Impossible Things

The Battle Is Tough But If You Reach Where You Want To Go, Then At Least In Some Sense It Is Worth It.

As A Fighter Pilot I Know From My Own Experiences How Decisive Surprise And Luck Can Be For Success, Which In The Long Run Comes Only To The One Who Combines Daring With Cool Thinking.
