    The Economist wrote one of my favorite pieces ever-- an obituary for Nadia Popova, one of the Night Witches (and a Hero of the Soviet Union).

    In 1990 I had the opportunity to get to know and to fly with some of the Russian crew that was sent over here to perform in the Abottsford Air Show. The young ladies that translated for their leader were not only beautiful but highly trained in technology and in language. The men in the group were intelligent, skilled, confident, selfless, and full of good humor, but their focus and commitment showed that they would be formidable adversaries.
