Hi Shaun.
My feelings entirely, particularly as we have had some super flying weather lately.
I've been in the business for an awfully long time and I'm still like the proverbial mother hen when one of mine is away on his qualifier.
I still get a really great gut feeling when, say, a particularly good instrument student gets it "altogether" and I seriously wonder if I could do it as well.
I've had a couple like that recently........yep, it really is a fulfilling business.
I wouldn't change it.
Rgds, Sleeve.
