فاطمة المنصوري: الإنجازات الكبيرة تبدأ بالحلم
أول طيارة عسكرية إماراتية تحلم بوضع علم الدولة على القمر
لم تخطط فاطمة المنصوري في صغرها لأن تكون طيارة· كانت تريد أن تدرس العلاقات الدولية والالتحاق بالسلك الدبلوماسي· لكن ''إعصاراً داخلياً أو إلهاماً'' قادها إلى تحويل مسارها، وانتهى إلى جعلها واحدة من أول أربع فتيات إماراتيات ينضممن إلى القوات المسلحة طيارات حربيات·
بدأ التحول في العام ،2003 حين التحقت المنصوري (25 عاماً) بمدرسة الإمارات للطيران المدني، التي شجعها أهلها وصديقاتها على الانضمام إليها، لتدخل حقلاً لم يجذب كثيراً من الفتيات من قبل· وفي العام ،2006 لاحت فرصة جديدة للمنصوري حين فتحت كلية خليفة بن زايد الجوية في العين باب الالتحاق بالطيران الحربي أمام الفتيات·
اغتنمت المنصوري الفرصة· وبعد عامين من التحاقها بالكلية، وقفت في 17 يناير الجاري مع زميلاتها الثلاث في طابور الخريجين ملازم طيار في حفل تخريج كلية خليفة بن زايد الجوية، الذي شهده صاحب السمو الشيخ محمد بن راشد آل مكتوم نائب رئيس الدولة رئيس مجلس الوزراء حاكم دبي·
ودشنت المنصوري وزميلاتها الثلاث بذلك مرحلة جديدة لبنات الإمارات في مجال الخدمة العسكرية، التي التحقت بها المرأة لأول مرة في العام ،1990 حين افتتحت مدرسة خولة بنت الأزور·
''علمني الطيران الجرأة واتخاذ القرارات الصعبة''، تقول المنصوري· وفي كلية خليفة الجوية ''بدأت تجربة جديدة تتميز بالانضباط والدقة والصرامة''·
وتلك كانت تجربة ''ثرية وناجحة'' بالنسبة للمنصوري·
لم تخل التجربة من الصعوبات· لكن المنصوري تؤكد أن التصميم والصبر وتشجيع قادتها وزملائها في الكلية ساعدتها على تجاوزها·
''كانوا فخورين بي وبزميلاتي الثلاث خصوصاً بعد المراحل الصعبة التي واجهناها بشجاعة خلال التدرب على الإقلاع والهبوط بالطائرات العسكرية''، تقول المنصوري عن قادتها وزملائها·
وحين كانت تواجه المزيد من الصعاب، تقول المنصـــوري إنها كــانت تتذكر مثلها الأعلى الفـريــق أول ســـمو الشـــيخ محمــد بــن زايـــد آل نهيان ولي عهد أبوظبي نائب القائد الأعلى للقوات المسلحة ''وخطواته الثابتة في الحياة العسكرية، وجهوده الكبيرة خصوصاً في مجال الطيران''·
وعندما حلقت في الجو تنفذ عروضاً جوية وحركات بهلوانية لأول مرة، كانت ''سعادتي لا توصف''، تقول المنصوري في حديث مع (الاتحاد) شجعت فيه مواطناتها على الانضمام للقوات المسلحة·
''لا توصف'' أيضاً كانت سعادة أسرة المنصوري بإنجاز ابنتها·
فلما رفعت الستارة عن صف الخريجين، الذي وقفت فيه المنصوري، تقول والدتها، ''شعرت بأن والد فاطمة المتوفى عاد إلى الحياة من جديد، وأنه هو من يستقبل هذا النجاح وهذا التكريم'' من قبل صاحب السمو الشيخ محمد بن راشد آل مكتوم نائب رئيس الدولة رئيس مجلس الوزراء حاكم دبي·
تفتخر المنصوري بأنها حققت جزءاً من حلمها بتخرجها في كلية الطيران الحربي· وهي الآن تأمل بإكمال الحلم بأن تكون أول رائدة فضاء عربية·
''يراودني حلم كبير، وهو وضع علم بلادي على سطح القمر''، تقول المنصوري· وهي تتطلع إلى تحقيق حلمها لأنها تؤمن بأن ''الإنجازات الكبيرة تبدأ بالحلم·'' وتؤكد: ''على الإنسان أن يتحلى بالإرادة والصبر والأمل لكي يحقق طموحاته''·

16. Przy tym zdjęciu zatrzymam się nieco dłużej. Fotka przedstawia kpt. Manję Blok, pierwszą Full Combat Ready pilotkę RNAF, w trakcie ćwiczenia wsławiła się tym, że poleciała raz a później grzała ławę. Natomiast jej życiorys lotniczy jako pilota F16 zdobi chwała jednej z nielicznych, jeśli nie jedynej akcji w Byłej Jugosławii, gdzie miała okazję zbombardować czołg bodajże 11 lipca 1995, co bardziej złośliwi twierdzą, że a jakże zbombardowała ale ogrodzenie prywatnej posesji na szczęście obyło się bez CD.

Mostly during the whole kamikaze flight training the Tokko's 'kamikaze pilots' were at the base at Chiran.
Outside the museum were two impressive statues, on one side "the waiting mother" and 50 meters aside from here one of a Tokko.
Most of the 1036 Tokko's, Kamikaze pilots, to be trained wrote a diary and a letter for themselves and their family, mothers in special.
These letters were to say fare well to their mothers.
And to confess and thank these for the years they were together during life.
These letters were often translated and public to read for the visitor in the museum.

A Marine flyer since 1935, Colonel Gregory “Pappy” Boyington was encouraged to resign his commission to fly with the Flying Tigers in China. There he got credit for six Japanese planes. But when he applied for reinstatement in the Marine Corps, he found himself disgraced for “having left the Corps in time of national emergency.” For nearly three months he parked cars in a Seattle garage until, in desperation, he telegraphed an Under Secretary of the Navy. In a few days he was on the way to the South Pacific where he was given a squadron of misfits. These pilots, unwanted by other outfits, and led by the oldest active Marine fighter pilot, made one of the great records of the war. The heart of this book is the colorful story of Boyington’s Black Sheep Squadron.
“Pappy” Boyington was a wild, hard drinking, professional Marine flyer who was one of the most unconventional heroes of World War II. As wild and independent as he was, he was a competent leader of men and had no desire to change his ways. He had never let anyone kick him around, and he saw no reason why he should let the Japanese do so in the air or after he was taken prisoner.
Winner of a Congressional Medal of Honor and a Navy Cross for his achievements while leading the Black Sheep Squadron, “Pappy” Boyington had twenty months as a prisoner of the Japanese in which to gain emotional maturity and sobriety. He freely admitted that during the nearly two years he spent as a P.O.W. his health improved due to the enforced sobriety. He retired from the Marine Corps on August 1, 1947.
Many people know of Pappy Boyington from the mid-1970s television show Baa Baa Black Sheep, a drama about the Black Sheep squadron based very loosely on Boyington's memoir, with Boyington portrayed by Robert Conrad. Many of Boyington's men were irate over this show, charging it was mostly fiction and presented a glamorized portrayal of Boyington. Boyington himself often told interviewers and audiences that the television series was fiction and only loosely related to actual history. Here is a 1970’s interview with Boyington and the actor who portrayed him on television, Robert Conrad.
