In days gone by III

In days gone by, pilots were reknowned for their bravery, dashing good looks and spiffy uniforms. They flew transcontinental flights in Volvo-sized planes, tested dangerous new aircraft that broke the speed of sound and taught us that "death from above" was far better than "don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes." Today, they perish when a computerized gizmodoodad tells them the mountain up ahead is intangible.
