Outcast of society

Post by Yoyoma »

We've had topics asking what you fly, where, how many hours...!

How about the non flying people?
Which users aren't pilots? What do you do for a living?

Really curious to know.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no


After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.
