RCAF Reserve Tradesman Training Plan 1958 16 yrs old. 87 Sleeps 'till "Johnny Paycheck" day. Can't wait!! I've seen the best years of aviation in Canada, and feel sorry for those just starting out.

10 years now, and the old liver has probably seen better days. its been an interesting 10 years with lots of ups and probably more downs, but all in all i can't complain much, the industry has been pretty good to me.
