A few days with the first F-104 Fighter Squadron (83 FIS) at Hamilton Air Force Base in California, I sensed the tremendous excitement and beauty and compelling force that makes men want to fly these planes. This I felt, was interwoven with an aloneness that was complete in itself. - Woodi Ishmael.
