Tuesday, October 19, 2010 Pilot In CommandDecision-making is key, not just for Red Bull Air Race competitors, but all general aviation pilots Being a professional aerobatic and race pilot for the past several years has given me the opportunity to meet many civilian, military, helicopter, fixed-wing, professional and recreational pilots. |
