#4 In the dawn of my years, I lived in Burbank, CA. This was the late 1950s, and there were still pilots doing training exercises out of Edwards AFB at Lancaster. One day there was a midair colision. One pilot's plane exploded, and he was killed instantly. The other pilot ejected, and came floating down into the backyard of the house right behind ours. We were prompted to go outside becasue we heard the collision. I remember my dad holding my hand in our backyard as we looked up watching him come down, and my dad talking to my mom through an open kitchen window as she was talking to the police on the phone. I heard sirens, and that is all I remember. After all I was only 4 at the time...
