Captain Sherm. Thankyou. I was away for 18 years. Im now home.
Ive had this discussion in Anchorage, Narita, Bolivia, Rome, San Paulo, The Caymans, New York, London, Guam, brussells, Hong Kong, Chengdu, Macau, Iran, Borneo, Jakata, Singapore, Vancouver, Shaghai, and the Emirati.
I lost my Family ,my lifestyle, my home, my sweetheart and my best mate who could no longer handle the situation. He was a far better and stronger man than I.
I havent however lost my hope for the amazing thing that professional flying is.
Ive only got a couple of years left. Ive found that now I look out the windshield a whole lot more.
I was away for 6668 days. Im now home.
MY HOME. Australia.
We cannot let this happen again to Australian pilots.
Thankyou Sherm. Your beautiful prose made this old bloke teary.
