Thanks, Bill.
Non-pilot here.

I can now better appreciate why the military is expensive, thinking of the training required to help make the happy ending of this story. Expensive, but worth it!

Brice, I only got as far as aviation ground school more than 45 years ago. Still have to appreciate the sheer guts.
