It sounds like a euphemism, but there really is a huge disadvantage of having only one engine. As such, F-16's go down all the time. ALL the time. It was an expected part of the gig, a going-in assumption when they decided to populate the Armed Forces of the world with these single engine jets. My perspective shouldn't take away anything from Julie's dream....it was a single military pilot, right? In Germany, those pilots wear the dark olive green suits.
Oh no, your perspective doesn't take away from Julie's dream, at least not for me. I know so little about fighter jets that I was unaware they go down so frequently. That indicates to me the dream is less about the crash and more about the pilot, which would indicate Julie's on the right track in focusing on the pilot.
The question is, what is his significance? Is it personal, meaning something directed just at him? Or is it more widespread, meaning this particular person has a bigger role to play on the world's stage?
