Outstanding read that makes me love my vintage Seiko's (and Citizen's) that much more. Col. Pogue's "failure" to get NASA's permission to take his Seiko on the mission is a prime example of the aviator's credo that says
it's far easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. In my 26 years as a USN AV8R, I never came across a pilot who hadn't done that at least half a dozen times in his or her career. Thanks so much for posting, edds...
