    I have always loved aviation, My dream was to be a pilot as a young boy, Sadly I never got to be one but I was lucky enough to fly on several different type of aircrafts. One such was an American Airlines A-320, And it was a smooth comfortable journey from Barbados to New York. I have always been fascinated by the size, structure, weight & power of something so huge to travel so far, so fast, so high & with such grace. I commend each and every one of you who work so effectively precise to build those machines, I want to wish you all continued success in your field of employment.
