A Gathering of Eagles1963
Gen. 'Happy Jack' Kirby:
Col. Farr, you're aware of the peacetime regulation against sending up an aircraft without full power?
Col. Hollis Farr:
Yes, sir.
Col. Jim Caldwell:
Sir, we're simulating wartime conditions. I would have made the same decision.
Gen. 'Happy Jack' Kirby:
[scratches one cheek, then the other] So would I. And I'm not going to score it as an abort.
[cracks a smile and exits]
Col. Hollis Farr:
We're in.
Col. Jim Caldwell:
He didn't even mention the bombing scores.
Col. Hollis Farr:
Oh, I'll guarantee you they're great. Listen, he smiled at you. When 'Happy Jack' smiles at a wing commander, that's like giving him the Airman Of The Year Award.
