Pilots on the site

I am an ex-pilot and cannot fly anymore for medical reasons. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has some flying stories. Belleive me I have a few. Dave Gilmour is a flier Mike Oldfield is a flier and many other prog musicians. My first love,though, is music. You could never take that away from me. Robert Fripp is God.

SALUDOS Y FUERTES ABRAZOS A NUESTROS PAÍSES HERMANOS LATINOAMERICANOS, REPÚBLICA DOMINICANA Y HAITÍ; ESPERANDO HALLEN PRONTA RESIGNACIÓN Y ESPERANZA EN SUS CORAZONES DADAS LAS CIRCUNSTANCIAS ACAECIDAS EN LOS ÚLTIMOS DÍAS. LO MEJOR HOY Y SIEMPRE DESDE MÉXICO

Not only is there no reference to pilots, but since when are two countries populated by people of African descent, who speak French, Creole and some English considered Latin American? 

 

Perhaps as a pilot in his own flight of fancy?

The BEST TODAY And ALWAYS FROM MEXICO I don't see any references to pilots here.

Thanx for asking. About three weeks ago, natural disasters hit the populations of Dominican Republic and Haiti. Due the storms impossible to tame for obvious nature forces, heavy floods affected the inhabitants and provoked the loss not only of their homes, but of their belongings and unfortunately of their families and loved ones. I thought I was in that kind of possition of being supportive and also thought it was my responsability to show some respect and care for them. Of course this has nothing to do with pilots or music whatsoever, but since this is a forum, I felt free to post this speech that claims for brotherhood and union in here without any political, social or cultural matters and ever since I am part of a Latin American legacy and a jigsaw piece of the worldwide puzzle, I wanted to make a difference.

Thank you, keep talking about pilots...

Don`t we all wish this could be a perfect world. When I was in the Air Force I never wanted to kill another man. We would intercept these Soviet bombers and we would smile and wave at one another. I don`t think that even if the order was given I could have done it.
