It describes a close call and near fatal crash. When I received this address book from Tom&#8217;s daughter, she had attached a post-it note to this page: <strong>Check out &#8220;Close Calls&#8221; I think it was &#8220;censored&#8221; by my mother.<\/strong>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\n<p>Close Calls:<\/p>\n<p>On Dec. the 16th while here at Lemoore Basic I just about didn&#8217;t get to celebrate my 20th birthday.<\/p>\n<p>While coming in for landing, was just leveling off when a plane landed just over me. Had I continued my landing I would have run into the other plane and smeared us both over the runway. I gunned the engine and just cleared the other plane. Had it not been for the fact that I had my flaps most all the way down I would not have been able to clear the other ship. Lesson learned: Look out for the dumb <del>bastards<\/del> who are going to land on top of you.<\/p>\n<p>T.E.C.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/cartmell\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/December-16-1943-Lemoor-California.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2353\" src=\"http:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/cartmell\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/December-16-1943-Lemoor-California-300x244.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"244\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/cartmell\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/December-16-1943-Lemoor-California-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/cartmell\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/December-16-1943-Lemoor-California.jpg 648w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Close Calls: On Dec. the 16th while here at Lemoore Basic I just about didn&#8217;t get to celebrate my 20th birthday.
