Other than the fact that I've been involved in light aircraft for 30 years now and loved most minutes of it (some of the time it's been a bit frustrating when the weather goes cack on you and you have to make a decision to pull stumps)......
Other than the fact that I used to work for the UKs largest military aircraft manufacturer and used to see some of Her Majesty's finest leaping into the sky on a regular basis in yellow primer (which looks great against some really grey CBs in half light!)......
Other than the fact that I'm an adrenaline junkie......
Other than the fact that I love seeing the sense of exhilaration on peoples faces when they first take to the air in a GA aircraft - it goes from pooing themselves to fascination.....
I love flying. If anyone said that they'd pay my mortgage and training for a year while I went off and got an ATPL, I'd do it tomorrow. I'm an old sod who probably would only be able to fly commercially for around 10 yrs, so the financial balance is tipped the wrong way.
Flying, to me, is freedom, escapism, challenge, something which I can always improve on and FUN!!
