LETTERS

摘要

In 1990, the Antonov An-225 ("Dream Big," April/May 2021) was the hit of the Aerospace America Airshow, hosted by the Oklahoma Air National Guard. Our load-master invited the An-225 ground crew to a barbecue. Several of us brought along our families. My daughter wanted to give her Cabbage Patch doll to one of the crew to take home to his young daughter. As he gently took the doll, he looked at me and said, "You know, if it wasn't for our governments, we could be good friends." A few weeks later, he sent us a letter with a picture of his family. His daughter, who was holding that doll, had a smile on her face that would melt your heart.
