Done.

And save for one bit early on (I suspect an editor's hand), the piece feels well written by an aviator who just wanted to try to make sense of it all and explain it as best he could to a general audience.

It read, to me, far more like something from The Atlantic (who the writer used to contribute to) than the NYT.

Good read, though for a layman it came close to headspinning a couple times where I think the writer simply had connected so many dots that it got a little frenetic. He could lay it all out faster than I could read it (if that makes sense)
