It should be easy, then, for Oleg to achieve hero forever status!

Immersion...

Everything back then was short wave and AM at best. Then all the static and background noise distorted everything. The only decent place to hear anything was on clear nights/days on land.

In the aircraft you definitely couldn't hear the sounds of Lille Marlene >>>

Immersion is engine and wind noise and the occasional sounds of bullets hitting your six.

Then of course, even funnier... literally we are a generation of experiencers.

We want to experience everything all the time in mass quantity, cell phones, ipods, laptops, ear phones, etc. The immersion is how we immerse ourselves up to our eyeballs constantly. Difficult to carry on a conversation with another human most of the time.

So, yeah.. we are an immersed generation. We have a buttkicker for our chair, earphones for our ears, TrackIR our visuals, Forcefeedback for our stick, a lighted keyboard, a programmable controller, a camcorder to share our reactions, and so on. Afterall, if it can be done we can immerse ourselves in it.

Sorry, I really don't care about the above. I just think sometimes it is too funny how far we will go to entertain ourselves.
