" The biggest chore of training was coping with
the nitpicking, rank-pulling, much-loathed lieutenant who oversaw their flights.
Once, when one of Super Man’s engines quit during a routine flight, Phil turned the
plane back and landed at Kahuku, only to be accosted by the furious lieutenant in a
speeding jeep, ordering them back up. When Louie offered to fly on three engines so
long as the lieutenant joined them, the lieutenant abruptly changed his mind. "
