The Vault 2018 webseries

HALE

Nathaniel Hale grew up in Rochester, New York. Named after the legendary war hero, Hale’s father was an officer in the Air Force stationed at the McGuire AAFB. At a young age, Hale hated the military and what it stood for, but loved to fly. Hale began flying Cessna’s at age 14. Years of flying have given him a solid understanding of mathematics, weather patterns, geography, flight dynamics, some basic physics and mechanical skills.

All these skill sets are displayed in a myriad of ways throughout the series. When asked what he remembers, Hale recounts the memory of flying from Washington, DC to Toronto when he entered severe storms and turbulence with extremely poor visibility.

It was almost like flying through an ash cloud which seemed to come out of nowhere.

It is McKinely, who first finds our hero Hale in an abandoned field hospital.
