Pilot em It seems that a young man volunteered for military service
during World War II. He had such a high aptitude for aviation that he was
sent right to Pensacola skipping boot camp.
The very first day at
Pensacola he solos and is the best flier on the base. All they could do was
give him his gold wings and assign him immediately to an aircraft carrier in
the Pacific.
On his first day aboard he took off and single-handedly shot
down 6 Japanese Zeroes. Then climbing up to 20,000 ft. he found 9 more
Japanese planes and shot them all down, too.
Noting that his fuel was
getting low, he descended, circled the carrier and came in for a perfect
landing on the deck.
He threw back the canopy, climbed out and jogged
over to the captain. Saluting smartly he said, "Well sir, how did I do
on my very first day?"
The captain turned around, bowed, and
replied, "You make one velly
impoltant mistake!"
