I have had many happy experiences in the flight deck but none more so than on this day when I was handed my 4th stripe. To steal a famous quote from the great Ayrton Senna and replace his use of the words "racing and competing" with my words "aviation and flying".

"Aviation, flying it's in my blood, it's a part of me, it's part of my life; I have been doing it all of my life and it stands out above everything else." I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to be part of this wonderful aviation machine. This is not a job, this is my life
