The War Starts | Chapter 2: The Flight to Korea

At the airport Henry waved good-bye to his family. But sense he was backing away he was unable to see where he was going and soon ran into a person.

“Sorry”, Henry said turning around.

“That’s ok”, said Hawkeye I was doing the same thing.

“I am Benjamin Franklin Pierce, but my friends call me Hawkeye”, said Hawkeye

“Nice to meet you I am Henry Blake” replied Henry

“Well since we have introduced our selves why don’t we get on our way,” said Hawkeye.

“Good idea”, answered Henry, “Where are you off to?” asked Henry

Hawkeye answered, “I am going to Korea, I got called to duty”

“No kidding, same here” Henry said

“Well we shouldn’t miss our flight lets go” Hawkeye said

On their way to their airplane Henry and Hawkeye talked about what they did as their line of work and who was in their family.  Once they reached the airplane they showed the flight attendant their tickets and got on. In the airplane Henry and Hawkeye sat in a three-row seat. But right then it was only filled with the two of them.  Soon though the other person came and sat between Hawkeye and Henry, it was Radar. Radar shyly sat down and pulled out a comic book and started reading. Hawkeye and Henry looked at each other. Then said in unison “where are you from kid”.

Radar looked over and replied “Ottumwa, Iowa”. Then kept on reading.

Henry asked Radar “why are you alone”.

But Radar answered at the same time said, “I am not supposed to talk to strangers.”

Hawkeye then piped in saying “Look we have got a mind reader, and we are not strangers we are your plane buddies”

Radar hearing this let out a little laugh and kept reading.

“Hey now we know he has a sense of humor,” Hawkeye said to Henry.

“Be nice Hawkeye it looks like he is alone and scared,” Henry replied

“I am not scared” Radar yelled to them over hearing Henry

“Sure sure ” said Hawkeye

Turning to radar Hawkeye tried again “So where are you going?”

Radar looked up and let out a deep sigh before Hawkeye could finish and said, “to Korea”

“Korea?” but you look so young Henry said

“I just made the age limit,” Radar answered

“What a coincidence, we are going there too” Hawkeye said, “Hope you don’t mind we are tagging along”

“Well now that you know me, who are you guys,” asked Radar

So they talked through the whole plane ride, saying what their job occupation is and how they got to be on the plane heading to Korea.

Finally, the plane landing, and the trio got off and went into the airport. Radar not paying attention was looking down at the comic book. But suddenly he ran into someone.

“Hey watch it you little twerp” the voice said

Hawkeye hearing this said to the guy “Hey you don’t own the airport”

“Well I am a very successful doctor…. At least that’s what my Mom said” (Now if I know all you Mash people you know who this is but for those who don’t read the next two lines)

Henry now having to pipe in said ” If you are going to be so rude at least give us your name”

“Oh yes of course, my name is Doctor Frank Burns” said the voice

“OOOOOOHHHH we have another doctor in the bunch Henry look at that. But being a doctor shouldn’t all doctors have a CHIN, Ferret Face.” Hawkeye said trying to annoy Frank

Radar hearing this snickered trying to hold in his laughs. Frank scowled at him.

“Well it was nice chatting with you ferret face, but we have to get to our plane ta ta for now”. Hawkeye said

So the trio headed for their plane and left to go the rest of the way to Korea.
