As a skinny little boy back in the 1950s, I developed this love for planes but never thought that I could be a pilot. Back then the planes flying around were mainly the piston engine propeller types of airplanes, unlike the jets currently flying.
However and lucky for me, fate had it that in 1971 I was selected for flying training at the QANTAS flight training school in Sydney. I have been a pilot ever since and have enjoyed tremendously my life as a line pilot, management pilot and as a flight instructor on the various aircrafts that I flew.
In the course of my career as a pilot, I discovered a lot of life lessons that we could learn from the strict cockpit discipline and the rigorous training that a pilot has to go through throughout his career. Some of these could be used in our daily life.
This blog is therefore about the secrets and lessons learned from the cockpit to help you to overcome difficult situations in life, learning how to build your self confidence and to assist in developing yourselves. I have benefited from it and so can you.

Yes, that would be interesting, however I do not think that I have any pics when I was small. Will try and put in pics of me while flying.

Thanks. I am still in the process of improving the pages, slowly, one step at a time. I promise however that it will get better as I go along.
