• Pertenezco a un grupo de hombres que vuelan solos. Sólo hay un asiento en la cabina de un avión de combate. No hay espacio para que otro piloto sintonice las radios en caso de mal tiempo o haga las llamadas a los centros de control del tráfico aéreo o ayude con los procedimientos de emergencia o cancele la aproximación final a baja velocidad. No hay nadie más para romper la soledad de un largo vuelo campo a través. No hay nadie más para tomar decisiones.

I have the ordinary experience of being anonymous when I'm in an airplane talking to air-traffic control, and they don't know who they're talking to. I have a lot of common experiences. What's important is to be able to see yourself, as having commonality with other people and not determine, because of your good luck, that everybody is less significant, less interesting, less important than you are.
