Why do you love aviation?

Ever since I was in school, I have been fascinated by aviation. On one hand I was fortunate go go flying often with my father, but I would also go home and watch Air Crash Investigation after school. It had always been a dream of mine to become an air crash investigator.

What is your favourite aircraft and why?

Any regular listener of the Simple Flying Podcast will know that the Airbus A380 is without a doubt my favorite aircraft. Every time I see one I am in awe of their immense size and that they ever manage to get off of the ground.

What is your industry focus?

I strongly focus on the commercial aviation industry in my reporting, particularly concerning European airlines and airports.
