CrashDive,
Somehow this is the sort of posts I really enjoy reading in this board. This is the sort of posts that really help us all in fulfilling this and any other ambitions that are difficult to achieve. This makes me believe that however difficult it is to achieve something it is really up to us to make it happen.
So to Crashdive, Capt Pprune and many others (from memory I remember a few such as Pilot Pete, Scroggs, WWW, …) that told us their story, my sincere thanks.
