If you could pick any era in the admittedly brief history of powered flight in which to be a pilot, what year or decade would you choose?
Would you desire to be a pioneer of flight, using your unfair knowledge of aerodynamics and aircraft systems to build and pilot early machines that could fly circles around Orville and Wilbur? Would you prefer to be a part of aviation’s Golden Age, alighting in wood-and-fabric biplanes and streamlined metal monoplanes in the 1920s and 30s? Do the warbirds of World War II stir your soul? Or does the jet age kindle your love for all things aeronautical?
