Summary
Max talks about Get-There-itis
accidents, and the time he got Get-There-itis, even though he was
familiar with the phenomena. In that case, a crying 3-year old
prompted him to continue flying into a storm where he began picking
up ice. Max also talks about meeting astronauts Wally Shirra, Alan
Shepard, and Chief Flight Director, Gene Kranz, who directed Gemini
and Apollo missions.
