Personal Reflection

What were you doing on 9/11? (Or, What was your interviewee doing on 9/11?)

I was in Daytona Beach. I had just left campus and was going home to relax before going to work.

How did 9/11 affect you personally and or professionally?

Personally, it changed how I looked at air travel. No more going to the airport to site see and plane spot from the terminal. I also knew friends who knew people in the towers. Professionally, it added yet another obstacle to mentoring and encouraging kids to join the profession of being an aviator.

What do you want future generations of professionals, particularly those going into your field, to know about 9/11?

It was one of the industry's lowest points but made aviation even more resilient. Sir travel has only gotten better and that like a Phoenix we should always seek to rise from the ashes anew.
