What is your favourite aeroplane?

My favorite aircraft is Concorde because that was my entry into loving aviation.

What was your first Aviation interest?

I first got into aviation by watching Air Crash Investigations on National Geographic, and the Concorde crash was the first one I watched. The engineering aspect always interested me, and from there, the rest is history.

What is your favourite aspect of Aviation?

My favorite aspect of aviation is it’s fluidity and resiliency. From airlines changing routes, to geopolitical situations changing the way the industry works, it is always fascinating to watch and unfold.
