In the article "Flying in Alaska — The Last Frontier," Will Dabbs, MD recounts his experiences during his military service in Alaska. Despite his initial desire to be stationed in Europe, Uncle Sam sent him to Alaska, a place vastly different from his humid upbringing in the Deep South. Dabbs describes the unique and challenging conditions of Alaska, from the intense cold to the stunning natural beauty. As an operations officer and later an aviation liaison officer, he flew CH-47D Chinook helicopters across the state, participating in numerous missions, including high-altitude rescues and resupply operations. He shares vivid memories of the rugged wilderness, abundant wildlife, and the camaraderie of military life. Through these experiences, Dabbs developed a deep appreciation for Alaska, despite the hardships of service and the extreme environment.

[deadpresidents]

To give a more serious answer to that earlier question about whether any Presidents were able to fly, yes, there were three who were trained as pilots.

The most famous is indeed George H.W. Bush, who was the youngest U.S. Navy aviator during World War II, and flew 58 combat missions in the Pacific during the war. He was shot down during a bombing mission over Chichi Jima, an island in an archipelago between Guam and the Japanese mainland in September 1944 and had to be rescued from the Pacific Ocean by an American submarine. That was just a few months after he was also forced to ditch his TMB Avenger bomber in the ocean -- while it still was fully loaded with the bombs for the mission he was on -- and barely escaped the plane before it exploded.

His son, George W. Bush, had a much-less decorated and much-more maligned military "career", but he was trained as a military aviator in the Texas National Guard. Bush 43's most famous flight was as a passenger while President when he landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln for the infamous "Mission Accomplished" speech, but he was definitely a trained pilot.

The first President to earn a pilot's license was actually Dwight D. Eisenhower. Despite his background as a career military officer, Eisenhower was not trained as a military aviator -- he earned a private pilot's license in 1939.

And it's the beginning of a new era of the Fourteenth Doctor's new spinoff with The Pilot. Starring David Againnant as the Doctor, Bonnie Langford as Mel, and Venita Richie Millie Gibson Anya Westbrook Eva Sharples June Brown Poloma Faith the robot Donald Pleasance Kim Kardashian Fearne Brady Rose Matafeo Awkwafina as Jill Trude. Yes. Good.

Tennant's taking a page from ol' Chronotis' book while talking fourteen to the dozen. Mel's arm is Mel-functioning after watching attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. And there's really not much to change, actually, so tune in for the lads pitching a series of films starring Sean Connery and Michael Caine!

[music-addiction-disorder]

Last thursday i made my first poll and the responses were awesome!

50 votes and the winner by 38% was "Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast".

So i decided to make this a weekly thing. This time i picked 10 of the 90's greatest "Grunge/Seattle Rock" releases to pick from.

Once again my question is...

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE FROM THESE ten 90's GEMS?

Ps, if you vote please also reblog, the more people will do so the more this post will spread and the better the outcome and results will be. A big "thank you" in advance to anyone who will partake in this! Yours truly: @necro69mancer 🤘🍻

Oh, and also... suggestions for future polls are always welcome! 😎

Alaska is not uncomplicated, but in some ways it's pretty much how you think it would be and when it is, it's a delight. I went to the state school for a bit and you can minor in Arctic survival skills + instead of weather alerts we'd get texts when a moose or grizzly was spotted on campus so we could avoid it on the way to class
