Why do you love aviation?
I have always loved the aviaiotn industry,and the whole process of flying. The achievment and ability to be tranported anywhere in the world, quickly and in comfort, never fails to amaze me.
What is your favourite aircraft and why?
Big is better. I am a fan of the A380 and the 747. What has, and is, done with the space on these aircraft is amazing. There is so much potential here for a different way to travel, more akin to the early days of aviation.
