Throughout the years I have lost many friends. I was a CFI at Merrill field for a few years. Four of us were good friends. Two died flying. The rest of us have quit.

As everyone knows; my opinion is that at some point if aviation doesnt start to love you back you had better save yourself or else you might wake up one day and realize that you lost far more than you ever intended to.
