There's a wonderful character here in southern Spain called Ignacio Macein who's 84 and still flies (left hand seat) in my Gazelle. He can still do anything and everything he needs to do to fly solo.
He was the first to hold a professional licence in Spain - has licence number 001, and he has more than 20,000 hours.
We go for little adventures together now and again and I've never experienced such affection and deference from everybody he knows in the helicopter world.
