The missing man formation.

As a measure of my patriotism, I present a photo of the maneuver known as 'the missing man' formation, a tribute to comrades who have gone on to that Great Hangar in the Sky.. The plane with smoke on is just leaving the formation to leave an empty place in the formation. This was taken at the Chino Airshow earlier this year.
In order to postpone my flight to Hawaii, I started reading a book on entanglement. Entanglement is a quantum mechanical theory in which the parameters of particles are connected in such a mysterious way that each particle 'knows' the condition of the other particle no matter how far they are separated. Even at opposite ends of the Universe. The fascination comes when one of the particles changes a parameter, say spin, the other particle at the other end of the Universe knows it INSTANTLY. Not at the speed of light but instantly. My problem is like a lot of things lately, I don't understand it......yet. It does sink in eventually.
Ideas that sink in are proof that we're all on this flight together.
