Warren McCollum: John Smith, Farmer's Son

Quotes 

• John Smith, Farmer's Son : [looking up at 9 planes, in a formation of 3 sets of 3 planes each, flying overhead]  One of these days, I'm going to be up there, Pa.

  Farmer : Takes more than just wishin', don't it, Son?

  John Smith, Farmer's Son : Ah, sure, you gotta go after it. The navy's got training bases all over the country.

  Farmer : Yeah, but you're a farmer, not a flyer. Ya got no experience.

  John Smith, Farmer's Son : Don't need any. Just need two years of college and a knack for flying.

  Farmer : Huh; it's as easy as all that?

  John Smith, Farmer's Son : Well, no; they put you through a pretty tough exam.

  Farmer : Then what?

  John Smith, Farmer's Son : Then you get a course in basic training. If you've got the stuff and finish the course, you get active duty with the fleet.

  Farmer : That sounds pretty good. You're stuck on it, eh?

  John Smith, Farmer's Son : That's right, Pa.

  Farmer : Then you go right ahead and put in your application.

  John Smith, Farmer's Son : I already have.
