I remember so clearly the time Ralph and I flew a small plane west - Ralph to visit his brother and I was to visit family in California.
We landed at Sky-Harbour just before a sever dust storm. We were eating in a lounge were we could see our plane. As we watched, two National Guard jets parked in front of our window. One pilot took off his helmet and oxygen mask just as the storm filled the cockpit with sand and dust.
The pilot immediately closed his cockpit. But...
