I do fly I am the only US citizen that is a crew member on the Antonov 225 based in the Ukraine, but look at trucking where can one person go out and experience what a place is like other than right there on the ground, I spent a year in Ireland, what a great place, went to Dar es Salaam Tanzania what not a great place, I too like Obama have heard the morning prayer played over loud speakers and yes it is quite a experience, went to Bob Marley's house in Ghana and then later met his son only because I could describe his dads house, do you know what it feels like to walk through a Airport and every pilot and crew knows you just came off the worlds largest aircraft, they know you are the best of the best, a true honor, you hold your head high and be proud of what you do, next week we move a chamber used to train pilots for high altitude flight, that required 2 background checks due to it coming from and going to a highly restricted area, some of our best pilots and Astronauts may have trained in this very chamber, being built in 1953 it has seen many of our best pilots, the money has been good but the doing has been a honor of a life time and the people you meet from all over the world is beyond description, I have led a charmed life and cherish every day and some day's are not so good but you can't just take all the good and leave the bad for someone else.
