["Before I started flying, I was
told it would open up a whole new world for me. Never a truer
statement! With my first flight, May 1994, I was hooked. I
obtained my PPL in December 1994, my night rating shortly
thereafter, and carried on to my commercial licence. Since then, I
have been flying regularly, gaining experience (and a new
perspective from the air) on various aircraft, including tail
wheels and floats. My next goal is obtain my instrument rating and
then employment commercially. I cannot imagine my future without
aviation."]
