Private pilot happy to share the cockpit with anyone else looking to experience the thrill of flight. Nothing quite compares to the feeling of being in a small aircraft. I’ve been flying now on and off since 2009. I am very risk averse and always follow the checklists. I do not take shortcuts and always prefer to take the safer option.
