“I grew up wanting to be a pilot. My dad was a pilot, and he took me up for my first airplane ride when I was about four. After that, I had the bug. I spent a lot of years flying corporate jets, then flew for FedEx for 30 years before I retired. It's hard work, you have to be away from your family for a week or two at a time, and you’ll definitely miss some birthdays and special events, but there’s a lot to love about it too. You get to travel, meet different people, see what life is like in other parts of the world, and experience things you might never experience otherwise. I especially remember one trip when we were flying across the north Atlantic. On that particular trip, Halley’s Comet was still visible. You could see it so clearly behind the Northern Lights, and we dimmed the lights in the cockpit and just watched it for a long time. It was one of the most beautiful sights I’ve ever seen.”
