Why this must be read:

A fun and touching ride into Jack's world, the sky. Jack takes Daniel up in an F-15E Strike Eagle to share with him the wonder and splendor of flight. Within that context, we explore some of what makes Jack tick and how he loves sharing this with Daniel. A very exhilarating and yet sweet get away for these two gents, who so need a distraction now and then.

Story Summary: Jack takes Daniel for a wild ride in the F-15E Strike Eagle.

Jack shouted, "Ready?"

Daniel gave him a corny thumbs up, expression self-effacing and amused. Cool.

The airman pulled the blocks away and scrambled back. Jack ran through the pre-flight check, as natural as breathing, the engines firing, tarmac a slow steady rumble under his wheels. He felt her out, the unique idiosyncratic tug and pull of each Eagle, his senses attuned and extended to every sound and read-out. She was older; he could feel the looseness. A little rattle here and there. You and me both, baby.

Oh yeah, he was home. Daniel was bracketed in the front seat, practically between Jack's legs. Safe but face-first into the sky.

Jack could feel Daniel's tension as they slowly found the runway, the familiar disembodied voices giving them clearance for take-off, both guardian angels and den mothers. He felt Daniel grip the seat.

Now.

He let loose with all she had, rocketing down the runway. Daniel melted into the seat… mouth open in a drowned laugh as they jumped the runway and tore a hole in the sky.
