An odd career path..

I received a first class honours in aeronautical engineering from Cambridge University in 1984, and had two years of flying with CUAS on Bulldogs under my belt. I was all set to join the RN FAA, but (unfortunately!) I won a scholarship to do a masters degree in aero engineering at M.I.T. and got sidetracked out of a naval flying career.

I graduated from M.I.T, but then got into a non-aviation career for some 20 years - which gained me a lot of worldly experience and fluency in five languages - but did not advance my flying career.

But now (at the age of 44), I have just got my French JAR CPL/IR and ATPL theory. I still love engineering and technical aspects of flying.

My question is, whether this experience might translate into something useful for an aircraft manufacturer - maybe in sales demonstration flying?

Any advice most welcome..
