Piper, how does a guy from Somerset, UK find himself in Zanesville OH? That's easy to answer - he marries a girl from Zanesville OH .

Of course, it is a little more complicated than that. For a start, I had to ask my wife to move back to the States (she enjoyed living in the UK). I knew that if I wanted to fly as a career we would have to move across the pond as the cost of flight training was prohibitive in the UK. I could probably get a job flying in the UK now (2000 hrs, mostly multi-engine turbine) but I really enjoy life over here and we live very close to my wife's family, so I think we will be staying a while .

BTW, next time you pass through Zanesville let me know in advance. Maybe we can grab some lunch and I'll show you around a King Air .
