From Jen n ies to J e ts is a long tim e and aviation is not w h at it used to be, b u t th en — n eith er am I. As I step out of th e cockpit, it seems to me th a t aviation and I are arriv in g a t a crucial point. The a r t of flying, as I have known it, is p assin g and I am beginning to feel as out-of-date as those who m anned fu ll rigged ships, drove p ra irie schooners or engaged in com bat in arm oured suits. Smoke on th e horizon spelled doom fo r sailing ships. The ro a r a t lau n ch in g pads h in ts th a t our je t skippers are heading fo r space.

I w an t to w rite a book or two, read, study abroad and in between ride my bike and do some skiing. It is not going to be easy. To give up flying is like ending a love affair.
