Patrick McAleerGUEST
The thing I always tell people, a lot of the times you can tell somebody's history with things that have gone wrong by the safety gear they wear.
Patrick McAleerGUEST
I wear a helmet, I wear a full fire suit, I wear the shoes, I wear gloves, the visor, everything, 'cause I've had things happen.
Patrick McAleerGUEST
I've had main oil lines blow, and then next thing you know, the canopy's full of c- of hot oil, and so the visor protects your eyes, too, if you have to pop the canopy at sea.
Sean StarkerHOST
He's actually had that oil line failure and lived to describe exactly what it looked like from inside the cockpit.
