| Favorite thing about flying: |
| There are so many things it would be hard to describe in this small area. Obviously the travel broadens everyone's horizons. Speaking of horizons there is no better way to see them than from the cockpit. |
| Disadvatages of being a pilot: |
I have no regrets and would probably have not done anything differently.
|
| What you would have done different: |
| Study, hone your skills and become a professional in all aspects of your life and career. |
| Advice to aspiring pilots: |
| Educating non pilots, particularly passengers on some of the demands that are unknown to them. |
