Vietnam: A Television History; Interview with Phung The Tai, 1981

Or. So the intellect Michael asked at the local airport. I did this to me at least a dozen planes fly into the airport on a daily basis. All my brothers are pilots a number of my uncle's kids are pilots. My father was the second Alaska needed to get his pilot's license in the state courts the barrier was money a lot of pilots who attended that don't fight whether if you want to live. Don't fight the water. It. Is a very tough aviation environment. Very few navigational aids. If you make your plans based on a weather forecast you just want them to work in the morning

because more often than not the forecast is bad. And flight is not recommended the way that we make our living the way that we play or trade. Is in between spells of bad weather. Being raised here you know the weather patterns. You kind of get a knack for what the weather is going to do the weather systems for the weather comes from. A lot of it is paying attention to the wind and what kind of clouds there are in the sky. Wind direction wind change. I think if a person. Has lived with that growing up punting the land and if they decided to become a pilot it would really be a big. Plus. They're the ones that are. Unravel all the little information that is inside of the ring.

You have to be able to read the landscape so it becomes more meaningful to you. Coast of the weather for you can have quick changers but they had natural shine makers that told you in especially the sun 24 hours ahead of time they used to tell you the kind of weather with the gloves or Karm on both sides of the sun and those little rainbow Orphic there's just ice crystals way higher up in the ionosphere that are causing that to happen. But if those are sign makers for us from nature and termites. I had a time with kind of weather to expect. Even the way the snow drifts are formed it'll always tell you what the veiling wind is.

Just by looking at the snow drifts across a lake or Iraq will always tell you what the prevailing wind there's. So. You get detailed information from observation of the census makers of nature itself and that becomes the foundation. Then we can add are the things from the Western rules that we think will add to it. It make you a stronger more knowledgeable person. And I think those are very compatible.
