#they tell him to stop calling them sir but rosie's just like omg they respect me back?????????? 🥺

Keep thinking of Buck and Bucky's perception of Rosie through their eyes. When they meet him, Rosie's a great pilot, has been training gunners for ages and knows his way around a plane well - but has yet to see any combat. He's that wide-eyed kind of hopeful that he can make a difference.

When they meet him again by the end of the series, Rosie's gone on to fly 52 missions. He's well and truly past his first tour, and well into his second. The rest of the 100th adore him and respect him as a leader; and Rosie adores them all right back.

Despite all of that, Rosie still seems like the same person - undemonstrative, and a little more heaviness to his shoulders perhaps, but that wide-eyed hope that I can make a difference hasn't faded.

#I NEED THEM TO BE FRIENDS SO BAD KFJWFKJ #also Rosie's perspective of THEM must be weird too bc like he meets them and the vibe is.... well its pretty macabre #like when rosie asks for advice its just *stay alive* and then all you can do *beat the odds* #and then for rosie's first three missions it's just literal hell where they lose both Bucky's #and then he sees them again after they survived *all of THAT* #i think rosie would have a lot of respect for them and look up to them a lot #my personal hc that despite all of them being majors rosie probably doesn't see himself on the same 'level' as the bucks #they tell him to stop calling them sir but rosie's just like omg they respect me back?????????? 🥺 #rosie rosenthal #buck cleven #bucky egan #robert rosenthal #gale cleven #john egan #masters of the air #ch: rosie #ch: buck #ch: bucky #tv: masters of the air #jack talks
