Thank you for bringing readers into the aviation experience and especially the human side of which you write so well. As I will never have the opportunity to serve in such a career as yours, at least this frustrated non-pro-aviator was well satiated with your rich and colourful stories.<br /><br />Other than purchasing your future book (another hint) all we can do for now is thank you for everything you have shared with us.<br /><br />So three cheers and all the best!<br /><br />/mark richards<br />bostonK1MGYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16390740057504583816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4532252134636526835.post-28719249028660439472014-08-25T20:26:52.959-05:002014-08-25T20:26:52.959-05:00Have so enjoyed your writings.
