[QUOTE="Bulldog Bruce, post: 29881, member: 237"] Just a couple of things I would like to add. At some point during the four ship "Missing Man Formation' flyby, usually directly over the gravesite or other location of the service, one of those aircraft will do a sharp 'break' out of the formation, normally the number three bird. That empty slot represents a warrior who will never again have the opportunity to go to the mall or loaf around on the patio, or anywhere else on this earth, with his or her spouse, children, parents, or anyone else. As for training flights, operating high-perfomance aircraft, whether fixed or rotary wing, is a high risk operation in the best of situations. If returning from a mission weak due to loss of blood, with a damaged aircraft, or just plain exhausted due to the stresses of combat, these men and women need every minute of non-hostile training available to them in order to make a safe recovery.
