In Response to Kevin Ware’s “Turning Professional” (February)
Just a quick thanks for sharing your career path story in the latest T &T. I’m happy for you that you’ve ended up engaged in a career you enjoy and beyond that share your experiences with us monthly in Twin & Turbine. I’ve wanted to write before just to say how much I enjoy “Jet Journal” each month. I especially agreed with an article you’d written last year about traveling on commercial airlines. But thought I should wait for another time rather than simply commiserate about all the knuckleheads riding in a jet and pulling down the sunshade appreciating absolutely nothing about either the privilege or physics of flight.
I too am a physician and had to undergo a “top overhaul” a few years ago. While I don’t fly professionally, I’ve made flying a part of my work lifestyle going to locums assignments regularly in my own plane. Committed to flying to assignments has made me approach all my flying with a more professional attitude. In 2018, I was able to fly to every job and did not fly commercial or drive once. Even still, I am always learning and recognizing how I might have performed better. Thanks again.

In a Letter to the Editor
I have been an avid reader for as long as I can remember. I have owned a PA31-310 Panther Navajo for over 20 years. Just as you remembered your family vacations flying in your parents’ aircraft, I have had the pleasure of having my now 91-year-old Mom travel with me on a many a fun flight.
Attached is a photo that I wanted to share with you. I always leave my copies of T &T at my Mom’s facility. She loves looking at the magazine as it always brings back memories of our adventures. Please keep up your fine work at the magazine.
