Reading Notes Ramayana D

Again working my angle to tie these stories to that of WWII, Indra's Chariot has the potential to work well into just that. Just as in World War Two the axis and the allies were all in search of a bigger and better weapon or vehicle. Just as Indra provided Rama with a better vehicle to assist him in battle so did engineers throughout world war two. Just as the Jeep propelled equipment forward for US troops so did the Chariot propel Rama into battle with Ravana. Just as the B-29 was able to deliver a greater payload and inevitably the atomic bomb the Chariot was able to give Rama the ability to give Ravana the final blow. Eventually the greatest and most advanced technology will lead to the most epic battles.

I even got to fly OU's King Air which the university uses for flights to transport faculty and staff including Football players and coaches. I got to fly the defensive coordinator on one of these flights for work, which was an awesome experience! King Air Photo Taken By Myself Some of my biggest accomplishments last semester (the spring) were getting my Multi engine instructors license and hitting 800 hours of total flight time.
