In 2005 I decided to call it quits. I retired from the military to only find myself back in the same shop I was leading rebuilding TF39 engines as a contractor.

We were from completely different backgrounds and didn’t talk for the 28 hours in total traveling time. Going through customs is horrifying after being on a plane for that long, and also at that time on Johannesburg

Three hours and an uneventful boarding later, they were escorted to their spacious first class seats on their British Airways flight from Los Angeles to London.
