What are you most passionate about with aviation? And what first drew you to be involved with it? Do you find it challenging/rewarding?

damb.....u must rly want 2 c me go crazy 

the shit that amazes me the most abt aviation is the feeling of limitless potential that exists in it. so much technology exists that people dont know about and its wild to me that its actually a thing. and i tend to think “well shit if we managed that already just imagine how much further we can go.”

its also BATSHIT when u think about how far the tech has come in such a relatively short amt of time. like wtf. its literally been like 116 years since the first instances of powered flight. considering the very humble beginnings and fact that now theres an aircraft for like almost every job, allowing people to do things that used to be impossible, thats amazing. like now we got shit that can cruise at the edge of the atmosphere. stealth fighters w/ radar absorbing coating so the damn jet appears as an object the size of a bug. i mean damn even airliners. ppl complain bc unless ur in 1st class its unpleasant to travel and yeah but when u think abt how u can cross the world in a day where it used to be like, weeks on a boat. damn shawty ok.116 years. 

of course so much of that development was driven by wars and stupid shit but its still fucking impressive the level of ingenuity and dedication on the part of everyone involved in developing these things. like. im not tryna suck military toes but shits still cool

and the technology is just going to continue to push the boundaries of what everyone thought possible bc as soon as a need arises for something that nothing we have yet is capable of doing, someone out there WILL find a way to make something that can. and bc its often the military funding it u kno they go all out for that shit

as far as how i got into aviation- its my dads fault. he worked for boeing and textron during the better half of my childhood and has always been involved with aviation to some degree. when i was a little kid he used to take me down to the airport to watch the planes on weekends and i could point to almost anything and hed be able to tell me what it was. that shit never got old to me.  actually learning to fly was just like an idea but not sth i looked at as a real possibility for a long time. and then i realized “bitch i can legit just do this lol.” i actually wanted to be a helicopter pilot originally but that training is even more expensive so i settled for fixed wing. its still fun. 

and yea its definitely challenging and rewarding. flying a plane is not like, easy but i also dont think its as hard as people assume. when i was training 4 my private license there were a couple things that were fucking hard for me but i got so mad about it i just kept doing it until i got better in a p short amt of time and i think i managed to do that bc i had invested so much time....and money already i was like ok mf ill be damned if i let it get me now. so i got my private pilots license. however i still have a long way to go before ill be able to make money out of being a pilot. and thats kinda intimidating but so are a lot of things. living is fucking intimidating so i might as well try this shit while im at it. im also hoping to go to school to become an aviation mechanic as well bc that side of it is just as interesting and fun 4 me. + if ur a mechanic who can also fly the damn things thats extremely desirable 2 employers. and ive had some hands on experience thanks 2 being buddy buddy with our mechanics. so i also get a lot of opportunities out of my current job just by nature of being at the airport all the fuckin time and knowing everybody.anyway long story short, that post thats like “im always in an airport. even when im not literally in an airport im emotionally in an airport” thats how im livin

Kamado tanjiro, himejima gyomei, tokito muichiro

kamado tanjiro: what are your goals? what drives you forward?

>livin like larry.......fr tho i have a lot of goals. i also have a lot of motivations that i have to cycle through to keep going. for a more tangible goal im planning to start on advanced flight training and ultimately become a commercial pilot so i can get a job flying freight. would like to be an aviation mechanic too. all easier said than done tho, hopefully i pull that off some time. as a life goal i mainly just want to reach a point some day where i can live my life with the freedom to just do whatever the hell makes me happy. and then i might just be able to relax a little. the thought of that is motivating. but then so is the idea of making money.....

himejima gyomei: is there any media (movie, book, tv show etc.) that manages to make you cry no matter how many times you rewatch/reread it?

>i rly dont actually cry at anything if im ever like ahjdfgf im CRYING im fuckin lyin. but have 2 admit moana came kinda close both times i watched it. there are some songs too but i always forget which ones til they come on shuffle in the car and i sit there in traffic like “man, FUCK” 🥺

tokito muichiro: do you daydream often?

>what else would be carrying me through each week
