Ombow, Yes, back in the summer. He was 92, so a good run all things considered. He was a pilot and aeronautical engineer, and lived/breathed airplanes. In his early years after WW II he started an aerial spraying company in the Mid West (spraying crops), and you don't survive long doing that if you aren't a phenomenal pilot. Over the years he had several airplanes and we spent a lot of time together flying. As an engineer he was in the space program, spy satellites, aircraft of all kinds.
>> lose, lose, lose mentality <<
By that I was mainly referring to the outcome, mostly loses. The mentality was actually 'win, win, win', on steroids, but by taking too many shortcuts. Kind of like the Trump positive mindset, but then you go to extremes to get there, and wind up losing and bankrupt.
