More About the Author

I'm a commercial aviation enthusiast and a global traveler living in the United States. I've worked in the airline industry for 16.5 years (retired June 2010) and holds a Masters degree in Aeronautical Sciences from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University known as the "Harvard of the Skies."

I still remember my first airplane flight in the summer of 1974 as if it were yesterday. My flight was on a Cessna SkyMaster from the Tinson Pen Aerodrome in Kingston, Jamaica, to Boscobel, Jamaica, lasting a little under two hours. I was elated as my dream to fly on an airplane had finally come true!

My first commercial airplane flight was during the summer of 1980 on BWIA (now Caribbean Airlines), from Kingston, Jamaica to Fort-de-France, Martinique. I spent 17 days there as a French Exchange student. On my way back, I stopped in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, for two days.

Today, I provide travel information for both airline employees and regular travelers. I try to fly as often as I can, sometimes just for the sake of being in the air and around an airport or an airplane. My itinerary may take me to Nagasaki, Japan, or as close to home as Corpus Christi, Texas.
