BAYWATCHER...
way to go....
excellent reading...clear ,concise and moving...
you want to know something...we all feel the same ( that things have changed and not always for the best ) as we get older. i'm a lawyer but i have been flying and instructing for thirty something years so i've been privilaged to see professional life as well as professional flying...and although the other mans grass seems greener..it still need to be kept cut as well...
i hope you will never loose the urge to keep flying ( as my dad said many times ) ..''.when you want to not when somebody else tells you to ...!!''
good luck and good health and thanks for sharing that with us...
gear up...
the dean.
