Cool Flying why we love it!! (Actual good news)

Just thought I would post a good news topic. Considering the mass of bad news both overseas and at home recently, maybe its time for some good news posts. I had the pleasure of flying with a gentlemen recently who was in his last weeks as a professional pilot having reached the mandatory retirement age. On a long sector in the middle of the night I happened to ask him what he loved about flying. He said it was seeing a sunrise whilst in the air. He had a tear in his eye and his voice faltered as he told how he would miss it. I would have to agree. Despite our current situations, we are the lucky ones.

What is your favourite part of flying?
