We complain about the cramped seats on commercial planes, but at least we can get up and go to the bathroom. 

Not so in fighter jets like the ones Larry Wood flew in his career.  Wood was a fighter pilot for the Marine Corps in Vietnam, one of many duties in a long military career. 

He'll give us a glimpse into life in the cockpit when he visits the Exchange.  Wood is the former Executive Director of the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum, which holds its Hall of Honor induction this weekend (November 13).
