Major learns to get back up after fall.

Maj. David Garay survived a 50-foot fall during a hike while he was a cadet at the U.S. Air Force Academy, Colo. Although bones were broken in his face, he tried to climb down to get help. The head trauma he suffered almost cost him his dream of flying for the Air Force, but he overcame it all to become a flight test engineer. Major Garay is an Air Armament Center executive officer.
