Thirteen years ago, I stood in this very spot at the The Museum of Flight, dreaming of the skies. This past weekend, I returned not just as a visitor, but as a graduate from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics, Summa Cum Laude. It was a full circle moment, emotional and humbling. I want to take a moment to thank the incredible aviators, educators, and mentors who generously gave their time, wisdom, and encouragement along the way. Your support made a lasting impact. Special thanks to: Darren Pleasance and the AOPA Walt Lasecki and Outlaw Aviation David Bermudez and the Bend Science Station Peter King, and Charles Harris at Epic Aircraft Peter Zeliff, Beth Kemp, and everyone at the WNY Aviation Camps Mike “Cuckoo” Kloch and his team Specialized Aero Works Sisters High School, COCC, Embry Riddle Worldwide, Outlaw Aviation, Bend Aircraft, and Leading-Edge Flight Academy for all of their guidance and instruction. And last but never least, thank you to my parents, friends, and loved ones for believing in me and supporting me every step of the way. This is a dream come true. Onward and upward! ✈️

"The Eagles have landed, welcome home" Heathrow Air Traffic Control 24/10/03 Twenty Two Years ago today just after 4.00pm Three British Airways aircraft landed in succession at London Heathrow. BA aircraft G-BOAE was coming in from Edinburgh after a quick supersonic dash over the North Sea filled with competition winners. G-BOAF was returning from a Supersonic trip around the Bay of Biscay filled with ex BAC and British Airways crew and staff. G-BOAG was coming in from New York flying the final BA002 transatlantic commercial supersonic service filled with VIP's and celebrities including Joan Collins, Jeremy Clarkson, Bernie Eccleston, Piers Morgan, David Frost, Darcy Bussell etc Upon landing, Heathrow was brought to a standstill as virtually every airport worker seemed to be out in force. Tens of thousands of people were standing around the airport perimeter all vying for that perfect vantage point. The World's media were also present all watching these three aircraft land for the final time, watching them taxi around the airport, bringing it to a standstill as they took their lap of honour and into retirement bringing an end to 27 years of flawless supersonic commercial service with British Airways. This small fleet of just seven aircraft had made the airline £500million NET profit over its operating life as the airline's undisputed Flagship. No longer would it be possible to fly over 11 miles high viewing the Earth's curviture travelling at Twice the Speed of Sound, 23 miles a minute, 1 mile ever 2.75 seconds whilst dining on the very finest cuisine and enjoying vintage wines and champagne from its own wine cellar. That day the World took a step backwards The adventure was over, but the dedication & passion began when the aircraft began their new lives as prized museum exhibits around the world, with many people becoming volunteers and the crazy amongst us arranging to visit all 18 that remain! From the future Operated in the past.....
