Been flying since I was 17 years old (only little gliders then you know, but I loved it).

Started training as an aircraft Engineer when I was sixteen - and I loved that too.

Dreamed of flying aeroplanes since before I can remember.

Did a PPL and found it exciting but expensive.

Was a Flight Engineer for 18 years and found it to be a very rewarding and at times an exciting career.

Retrained as a professional Pilot and did a few years as an F/O on jets and was very fulfilled.

Got a command and I am back where I was dreaming at about the age of 2 years old I guess.

I think I will carry on enjoying myself for as long as I can - after all I didn't start this professional pilot stuff until way into my forties. Only 7500 hrs in the LH seat and I don't think it is unreasonable to sit there for a few thousand more - do you?
