I enlisted in the US Army to attend Warrant Officer Flight Training, after my first flight, it was clear to me that flying helicopters would be a major part of my like as long as I am able.
Probably my first solo flight in a helicopter. Then maybe my first trip as an Airline Pilot.
I cannot imagine doing anything else, after flying for a living. If you like to fly, nothing else is even close.
Usually hanging around the hangar, working on the aircraft, then fishing when possible.
I am fortunate to able to do exactly what I have always dreamed of being able to do. Flying helicopters, and jets is as good as it gets in aviation.
Our wedding day 28 years ago, and the birth of our daughters are certainly the top, but Val and I have had a great life, punctuated with both good and bad times. By far, mostly good.
