Much as I love flying, I think I get the most satisfaction out of designing and making things.

..and sharing them with others. Thanks for all the hard work you do to provide the VAF community with advice, even though, sometimes, it's not well appreciated.

Default Happiness is

taxiing out of the arresting gear after your last night trap in the USN.
No wait. It's setting the parking brake after your last flight at a major
US airline. Nope, it is sitting around a table with your formation buddies
debriefing the most recent flight while consuming adult beverages.
It just doesn't get any better than that.

Taking my other little girl flying to breakfast. She has been asking, "Papa, how much days until I get to go flying to breakfast with you?" Several times a day for the last week.

Default Happiness in aviation is...

Taking them all up one at a time. Jacob flew it for the first time today. He helped me rebuild it.

Wow, Jesse; what a great bunch of kids you have! You are a lucky man (but you know that already) and your kids are lucky to have a dad that shares his love of aviation with them. Warms the heart, it does.

It's not their turn yet. I have one more to go before I start at the top of the order again (the 1-year-old won't be going flying with me for a while yet). The little one this morning got excited every time I did a decent bank because that's the only time she could see the ground except on the Dynon Skyview synthetic vision.

Btw, Vlad, the piano players have greatly improved since you were here. We want another visit from "the crazy Russian!"
