Intro from AT

[AerospaceTechnology]

It's great to see all the enthusiasm conveyed from young members just starting out. I’m from the ‘old school’ first learning to fly in the early 80’s which was great before the gradual decline from 1989 onwards.

 

Prior to 1989 some of the tax raised from the industry was invested into funding all the charts, AIP, nav facilities, etc. These days, the additional costs simply translate into higher tax, but it’s not all bad news. It’s easier to fly now since the current economy supports every one wanting to work. Back in the mid 80’s it took a long time to obtain a licence simply because of limited earning opportunity.

 

This is just a reflection you younger guys might appreciate ?

 

Enjoy your next flight !
