Senator Byrds Mach 1 Hairdo

B. was a pilot in the Air Force and now has a commercial aviation career. He tells of a scene he witnessed as a pilot of Air Force 2 flying a congressional congregation to northern Russia.

"We landed during a major blizzard and wind storm. The plane was severely rocked and buffeted while on the landing strip. As the congressional passengers were disembarked each endured a tremendous struggle with the wind, resulting in all types of severe dishevelment. But when Senator Byrd of WVa left the plane and walked into the howling wind not a single hair on his groomed head was disturbed. His hair remained as perfect as it is when he delivers a speech in the senate. The crew and other passangers were astounded. It was thereafter referred to as Senator Byrd’s Mach 1 Hairdo. "
