Remember the World you came from. Remember your True Form.

You are a Master Manifestor. From Heaven to Earth.

Let there be Light. So we transmute all wrongs to Right.

Remember you are a Child of the Divine.

Dear Ground Crew:

Here's the latest message from Apollo: “Thank you for your latest good work, ground crew. It has helped significantly to raise the consciousness of the planet. You are helping to fasten the grip on the darkness. There is still work to be done. You are now in the process of stepping into your light felt roles that will change the Earth forever. This is a serious choice point, dear beings of light. Most of you are aware, if not consciously, but at least subconsciously, the importance of you acknowledging your work as transducers of light. So much is still needed, yet it is only a breath away. Every time you pay attention to working with the light and feeling the light, you make huge waves in the shift of the ages. This is why you are here at this time. I recommend you make your focus the light. Close your eyes and welcome in the light and, if necessary, cry away the tears. Let your heart be filled with love and release the long-held fears. This will assist you in freeing yourself from the past darkness. Not only are you holding the light but you are becoming the light. The darkness has very little sway over you now. You recognize your power of the light. This makes you solid and steady. Please remember what I'm saying.”

How are you doing, ground crew? Some of us are feeling a myriad of emotions. This is part of ascension. One minute you might have the feelings of bliss and joy, something you had not felt for a long time. At other times, you might need to cry because you are sensitive to the energies around you. The numerous changes are baffling. Even looking into a crystal ball will not predict what will be happening next. This is how the energies are in higher consciousness. We are learning to simply be present with what is going on from each moment to the next.

'JEEP TRUCK' SERVICES AIRPLANES,” Montreal Gazette. August 10, 1942. Page 19. --- When planes of Trans-Canada Air Lines arriving at Montreal Airport, Dorval, require service for the passenger accommodation, a tractor quickly rolls up to the job drawing a service-cart, known to T.C.A. ground crews as a "Jeep truck," which is really a glorified linen cupboard containing the many articles needed for an air journey. In three compartments are all the necessary accessories, linens, pillow slips and other general supplies needed on an air flight. The supply truck was designed by Chief Mechanic Emile Patrault.

Does a plane have a horn? Let's find out.

The use of horns in the air is not practical due to the vast distances and three-dimensional airspace involved in aviation. However, an aircraft still has a 'make some noise' button, at least something similar to traditional horns.

Airbus, it is your turn.

i think what i'm most excited about with the live action series is how different it's gonna be.

like, obviously, it's live action, so there's limits on what they can do in terms of the crazier stunts, places, and people. the actors will have their own mannerisms and quirks they'll add to the characters that will make them distinct. it looks like it's gonna be a bit more grounded and less cartoon-y. but most of all, it's just so so so much shorter.

season one looks like it's gonna cover all the way up to loguetown, which was original a little over 100 chapters and 50 episodes, in about ten episodes. that's a lot to cover, and while they're gonna have to cut a lot of stuff, i'm so curious how they'll condense and change the story.

(it makes me wonder, with oda working with them, if it'll resemble oda's original plan for the story, which was gonna be much shorter than it ended up being. though, we won't know that unless oda says something).

it's just going to be so different than the original one piece, and that makes me really excited, cuz it'll kind of be like watching one piece for the first time again.

needless to say, i'll be ready to burst into tears

Dear Ground Crew:

Here's the latest from Apollo: “Greetings. I am Apollo. I come to you from the rising spheres of creation. The Earth fits right in there and so do you. Much is shaking loose on your planet. You might find that happening within your own self, as well as, everywhere, when you're looking. The old fixtures are falling apart. They no longer belong on the Earth, for their vibrations are far too low to withstand the forthcoming changes. So reach for the stars, ground crew, because you are from the stars and you are one of them. Seek your own illumination. Track the light, for wherever you look it is there. It is part of creation itself. It's where you originated. Deeply within you, and especially in your heart, there is a model of your future self. This model is activated and is blooming into the full realization of Self. This is a significant shift pointing the way to higher consciousness and your true purpose and destiny. You are moving into the area of light, the Golden Age and your divine assignment. The most important part is that you incorporate your true self, your I Am presence, into every day life. All of creation is excited to welcome you back home. We are standing at the corridor where the portals are about to open so that we can reclaim the Earth.”

I know MotA isn't perfect and has its issues but personally, I think the biggest missed opportunity was not having an episode from Ken Lemmons and the ground crew's POV.

Episode 6 of Band of Brothers - Bastogne - is rightfully one of the standout episodes of that series because of the different perspective it provides, and Masters of the Air could have achieved the same thing if it had focused on the ground crew for one episode. While we got glimpses of the effects the war had on them (most notably in Parts 5 and 6), imagine how much more of an impact it would have had if the miniseries had actually taken the time to really show us the trauma they experienced - the endless, exhausting hours of fixing the planes, the anxious waiting for the crews to come back, the quiet breakdowns when they don't, the earth-shattering guilt because maybe it's their fault, maybe they messed up somehow, the emotional distancing from the replacement crews so it won't hurt as much when they'll inevitably get shot down as well. And then the overwhelming relief when someone presumed MIA or KIA makes it back - like Quinn, or Rosie after he gets shot down over France. The slow realisation that there is hope, after all, that not all is lost, that sometimes, miracles do happen. Finding the strength to smile again.

I think MotA would have benefited hugely from an episode like that. And while I'm grateful they chose to devote time to the ground crews at all, I just think they could have done more - should have, really, given that they didn't even include Lemmons in the "What happened after the war" coda at the end.
