When I did my PPL I was told I was born a natural pilot (this was even after I had paid for the course)! and with the ego of any human I began to believe it.
I now am the proud holder of an (F)ATPL and about to start my first flying job and I am over the moon.
However, there is one lesson I learnt between the start of my career to the current time and that is that I am no way a natural pilot. I definitely wasn't born one and have had to work, and will continue to, have to work to improve on my flying skills and abilities and therein lies my hopefully, extremely interesting flying future.
One day I would love to fly for the British Antarctic Survey probably along with many others, but for sure, there will be a deal of challenges ahead if I manage to go down that course.
Most of all, I love the act of flying and that surely is all that is important to any aviator, either born with a natural gift or someone who has to strive to achieve his goal.
