I spent the last ten years of my career flying anywhere but Canada.

Actually I didn't have much choice due to some problems I had with several of Transport Canada's top management, it is difficult to make a living when one gets on their list of people they decide they have to get rid of.

I retired from commercial aviation in Sept. of 2005 because I had had enough of flying for a living and want to see how ordinary human beings live.

Here is what I am doing now.

Took that picture a couple of weeks ago, five knots is more fun than five hundred watching way points crawl down the screen waiting for the destination to show up.

Everyone should have a game plan, mine was to retire when I turned 70 regardless of how well I was doing by that point in time...when I retired I was going real well.

And most important I didn't leave it until I got so old that I started to slow down mentally and physically like so many pilots do.
