Why this must be read:

This is definitely the fandom for spine-tingling, edge-of-your seat adventure. In this classic, Johnny and the guys participate in a wilderness training exercise, and find themselves fighting to survive instead.

The four firemen held tight to their seats as the plane started bucking. The rain had been steady for the last hour and the fog over the Puget Sound was thick. Roy watched as the pilot attempted to keep his heading based on the instrumentation.

“Mayday, mayday, this is four, six, seven, niner. We’ve been hit and are going down. Mayday, mayday, Lake Union tower, this is four, six, seven, niner. Copy?” the pilot continued.

Trying to remain calm, Roy sought his partner’s eyes.

Johnny looked back at him and grinned grimly. “Guess this is where we start our survival training, huh?”

Rated PG for some grusome descriptions and flashbacks, plus a heart-rending story of pain and survival.
