(March 2012) One of the things nearest and dearest to a pilot’s heart is the freedom to move about, to explore, to discover and to see new places with fresh eyes.
This element of discovery is a central part of what flying is to me and why I love it so. It’s been that way from day one. While this sense resonates strongly with Americans, it’s a universal sentiment. Pilot friends throughout the world tell me that airplanes open the world to them in the same way as I describe it to others.
