I have spent nearly 20,000 hours off the ground and I simply love being up there. 7,000 of those hours were spent teaching others how to fly, which is a passion of mine, although some wonder how I can enjoy 90 knots when my job is to fly at 500.

Both are magical in their own way, and I feel very blessed to be able to 'slip the surly bonds' in numerous types of machines.
