“It could be called a love story, a love story between men and engines and aircraft. It becomes noticeable first in the quiet way they remember, and then in the way their eyes occasionally mist up when they recall a special moment, as if haunted by a past they didn’t have a chance to finish. Tragedy is clearly the difference between what really is and what might have been, and it’s the might have beens that seem to hurt so much and touch with such profound sadness virtually every person who was there. Not only is it painful for them to recall what was obviously the time of their lives, it is even more painful living with the unfulfillable desire to get another crack at it, and this time to get it right. A chance, regrettably, lost to time.”
