Mr Elegant,
The tales of your flying inspire life, the universe and everything. One can only read and admire, for your life is one to aspire, if only for sheer exuberance and joy of living and flying. The fact that you are able to continue to share your experiences with us, with so many lines of thunderstorms ahead, only fortifies the effect you have obviously had on many whom you have met, and provides others, such as myself, with a renewed sense of what matters in life.
I look forward to many more tales, for I know there are many more to come, and know that, in whatever shape or form, you will continue to inspire aviators around the world for many years to come.
May you find the hole in the line, and sail into clear blue skies. You have done it before, you will do it again.
Yours sincerely.
