Aviation History Trivia

Nothing in Life Stays the Same

"What is something that is both a hope and a dream, 
Becomes a life choice, and is promised to last forever. 
But forever can mean a few years, a month or a day...
And then you wake up and it's all gone away..." 


Answer:  Aircrew Base
The above photo was taken not too long before the NWA Anchorage Base was closed down. My hubby and I drove our suburban from Alaska to Seattle (with a ferry ride for part of the journey) with Retired Captain Don Carlson and his beautiful wife Sue! Nothing ever lasts forever, especially a crew base.  But the memories we keep forever.

    One suggestion is you may want to open your research be on commercial pilots as those are the professionals you're attempting to research. You may want to broaden your participants to include individuals who manufacture runway safety equipment, airport managers, aerospace engineers, or individuals involved in aircraft production. Involving these professionals may add to your research. You may want to also involved the litigators who are involved in such accidents as they may be able to state the statutory limits which contribute to y it's easy to identify an accident as a "pilot error" than the cause caused ny the airport or aircraft manufacture.

      Timothy, Thank you so much for the great comment. I like the way you think. And, I was there at one point and was convinced to narrow the focus as it was too broad. Thus, my research project is focused on providing pilots the tools to do their job, and then when the PHD is done... oh yes... I have 4 other projects in the works and right in alignment with. Thank you!
