The passion of flying

Another gem from Capt. Bob.

Many of you will have watched the video of the dolphins being rescued off a Brazilian beach that I published a week ago under the title of Wet eyes warning.  That was sent to me by Capt. Bob.  Bob, like my son, is a commercial airline captain.

Now Bob has sent me this.  Some day, I’ll natter on about my own amateur love affair with flying, both gliding (sailplane in USA speak) and power.  But for now just marvel at the skills on display as in the name of fire control these crews quite deliberately do all the things that most would consider suicidal in aviation affairs.

  1. Wow, what timing! Awesome! Just to let you know I have joined (volunteered) the Payson CAP (Civil Air Patrol) and I definitely won’t be riding in this type of plane. I recently went up to get a feel of the plane which I shall be riding in, it was wonderful. There’s tons to be learned, and I shall. I will start as an observer and someday become a scanner. It’s great to be able to give back and have fun at the same time.

      1. Thanks for following my blog, Paul.

        I’m quite new to the blogging thing and it took me a while to decide what to blog about. I’m glad you appreciate it.
