Why do you love aviation?
It's a difficult thing to nail down properly. I feel a connection with the machines that transport us around the world that is difficult to describe. I could spend hours learning about this world, and I could spend hours simply gazing in awe at the planes that frequent the skies.
What is your favourite aircraft and why?
I love all aircraft, however the Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 stick out to me in particular. I'm fascinated by the A380's design and engineering, while I find the 787 to be wonderfully quirky, and it's my most-flown widebody.
What is your industry focus?
I primarily focus on the airline industry within the United States.
