“What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore – and then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over – like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode? “Harlem” by Langston Hughes
On field work once in Cold Lake, AB my colleague and I worked in the repair hanger where CF-18’s were maintained. We got to sit in the fighter jet for a photo op. Talk about tight quarters. It was explained to us that in case of ejection, a mechanism tucked the pilot’s feet under the seat in order that the knee caps clear the instrument panel on the way out… eek!

To dream the impossible dream
…
This is my quest,
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless,
No matter how far.

Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go life is a barren field frozen with snow.” — Langston Hughes

The Air Force Academy would have told this kid whether he was tall enough for flight or not. As to the Olympics…kid, you’re on your own.
