What is your favourite aircraft and why?
I would have to say the Caspian Sea Monster, made by the USSR, has to be one of my favorites, though it is a bridge between an aircraft and a watercraft.
What is your industry focus?
I cover evergreen topics on airports and airlines, aviation vocabulary, and other things in between. These are the ones that don't pop in and out like breaking news stories but the ones that people would be interested in the future generation as well.
