You may have heard the name Flight 19 before but, do you know what it really means? Flight 19 was a group of five TBM Avengers bomber planes. Flight 19 disappeared off the coast of Florida on December 5, 1945. None of the aircraft returned from their mission.

Purpose The plane roared as it hit the tarmac of Dulles International Airport, and Azar groaned back to life, shifting uncomfortably in his seat as he looked out the window to see the amber lights of Washington D.C just before the break of dawn. Azar heard a slight ring, and looked up to see the seatbelt light had been turned off. As the plane finished its taxi into the terminal, Azar sorted through his things and prepared to disembark. He wasn’t the only one returning to America from Vietnam. Roughly

walking around airports gleefully going from airplane to airplane. Normally, I’m not in a hectic third world country and I don’t have dozens of spiders crawling all over me. The entire time in the Central American country, Nicaragua had felt like a rollercoaster. This moment was definitely one of the scary parts. I woke up thinking it was going to be a relatively calm day. That view changed as soon a multitude of baby spiders crawled out of my suitcase and onto me in a Nicaraguan airport. It was June

As soon as I stepped foot on the wing, we hit a rough patch in the air and it almost knocked me off of the wing. I was on the wing for a whole five minutes and it was the longest five minutes of my life. We made it into Brazil and touched down in the city of Brasilia. When we arrived I could already tell that this was not a safe place to be. “My Uncle will be here in ten minutes. He is giving us the gas and we will get out of here.” When he showed up, he wasn’t alone. “Jackie, I thought he was

overnight flight because it was less expensive. We had not gotten any sleep. Once we exited the plane and entered the terminal, we headed toward baggage claim.

June 26th, 2003 I woke up from sleep to the monitors saying that it was safe to come out from the bomb shelters. The world was at war and everyone was in safe places for about a year. A lot of people weren’t prepared for this because it came out of nowhere. Most of the people probably didn’t make it. I was so worried to go out and see what had happened. I miss my family and I’ve been going crazy. I’ve been alone for about a year. I had no idea what happened to my family. They must not be alive. If

The plane ambled across the sky, basking in the bright afternoon sun. I slowly reached up and slid the round window cover open, letting the intense sunlight in and watching the vast ocean expand below. I squirmed with anticipation in my seat and excitedly glanced around the plane cabin. Traveling to this new world seemed like a fascinating adventure to my five-year old mind. I stared in utter amazement through the window as the sun set with a faint scarlet glow; light shimmering off the clouds and
