    Bernard Brown, 11, was clever and quick witted, the kind of boy who kept his teachers on their toes. Estella Cleveland, who taught his fifth-grade class at Leckie Elementary School in Washington, D.C., loved him. "He used to give the fourth-grade teacher fits. But he turned it around last year. Everybody noticed it," she said.
    That's why Cleveland gave Bernard's name to her best friend at Leckie, sixth-grade teacher Hilda Taylor, when Taylor asked whom she should take on a National Geographic trip to California. Taylor drove to Bolling Air Force Base, where Bernard lived with his parents, Bernard and Sinita Brown, in naval housing. Mrs. Brown drove the two travelers to Dulles International Airport.

    American Airlines Capt. Charles Burlingame, an aeronautical engineer and honors graduate from the Navy's Top Gun fighter pilot school, had been known since he was a child as "Chic."
   His style and his appreciation for rhythm and blues music belied a serious side: a life-long love of aviation and a discipline honed at the military academy and eight subsequent years of service in the Navy. In recent months, he had been helping to organize the 30th reunion of the Class of '71, making appearances at local schools to recruit students for the Naval Academy and raising funds for his alma mater.
   Like many military pilots, Burlingame considered the most difficult job to be landing an F-4 fighter jet on the deck of an aircraft carrier as it pitched at sea in the dark of night. After he left the Navy, Burlingame was hired by American Airlines in 1989.
   Friends and family remembered him as a man who was unabashedly patriotic, who embraced military life even after he retired from active and reserve duty. He remained active in the reserve, working until 1996 as a liaison in the Pentagon. News of his death, the day before his 52d birthday, drew outpourings from classmates around the world. "I'm sure Chic was fighting bravely to the end," one wrote to his wife Sheri, a flight attendant for American Airlines.
