As a former pilot and aviation buff...this 4-5 year old kid knew more about aviation and planes than most adults do.
This isn't collective consciousness....this is knowledge that ONLY a pilot would understand.
Neither of his parents of relatives were pilots or even knowledgeable of aircraft and/or aviation.
I've had the same dream at least 10 times of being shot down in a fighter. It seemed very real, especially the feeling of a mask on my face and my
back burning. I felt very guilty about someone behind me who I knew was already dead because I felt responsible for them.
When I was fourteen, my Mum took me to Gawler airfield to go up in a glider. This glider had its own small engine, so didn't need to be towed up, and
the two occupants sit next to each other. The guy who took me up asked me if I had ever flown before and I told him I hadn't.
When we got up to around 3,000ft, he shut the engine off and we started gliding around. I asked him about the controls, and after a brief description,
he let me take the controls while verbally giving me instructions.
I remember vividly to this day how I lined up the runway to land. I expected him to take the controls to land, but he looked at me like he was
actually considering letting me land it. He then said "I better take it from here" and landed it.
When we landed, he spoke to my Mum about how I was a "natural" and asked her how mwny times I had flown (thinking I couldn't hear him from where I
was). When my Mum told him it was my first flight, he openly told her that he didn't believe her.
Also, I went to a psychic when I was 21 who told me that in my previous life I had been a pilot and was shot down in the Vietnam war.
