    It's brave to do it solo 😂 I did that in 2022, it went ok, but it was pretty stressful managing all the traffic alone, so I decided not to again... but then I had my worst ever experience in 2023 with a pilot buddy, so who knows. 🤷‍♂

After the war he became a private pilot and flew into his 80s. He said his most stressful experiences in an aircraft were flying in to Oshkosh. But he kept doing year after year!

    Enjoy Air Adventure this year. Won't be there, but please let Citation Max know Mr. Martini says hello. I met Max last year in Houston at Flight Sim Expo. He might remember me. Had a great time!!!
