        caption="COD flight from USS Midway. On the return flight from the Midway, we lost the right engine on the plane. Made us a little nervous because we were still 300 miles away from Okinawa. 100 miles out, the left engine started to spit and sputter. Very nervous now! The crew chief asked us jokingly if we were good swimmers. I told him jokingly that I would rather walk. We finally landed, I got out of the plane with wobbly legs and kissed the tarmac.">COD flight<br/>from USS Midway.</img>
