Well indeed I believe in making sure the sight picture matches up with reality just like any other good approach should
however I did two 4 month internships with Boeing in college at the Seattle location (BR&T - Boeing Research & Technology) building where I did engineering test evaluations on certain fluids and QA for airline customers receiving airplanes. I certainly loved the company but every single day I always looked out my window at the beautiful planes going past.. Took my lunch across the street to the delivery center and watched airline pilots come pick up brand new airplanes, and yes after work I went to train for my PPL and received it that second summer at 42 hours!
Maybe I don't know exactly how it'll be at 50, but I have a good idea what a desk will feel like 2 years from now and I already don't like the REALITY of that.
