navy plane, marine avaitor

At the store, a pilot of one of these old planes was walking into the store. He was pretty frail. I had to help him up the steps. And then I also had, I’ll hold the door for him, because he looked like he just wasn’t very strong. He was a marine corp, aviator flying a navy plane is what he told me.
