Pilots may not have all the fun, but we try.

Money may not buy happiness, but it can buy an airplane and that's pretty much the same thing.


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

If you look at the other flights listed for this aircraft, the pilot seems to have some artistic flair.
