    I would like to share this video with the author of the fine video. I have received a lot of compliments on this video of mine. I don’t know if this would be considered a super power or not. The Video is on here
    http://www.youtube.com/skybobb the name of the video is His last wish- an airplane ride. A lot of pilots said that this video made their allergies flare up when they watched it. Enjoy. Bob.

    Best people in the world EVER! I have had the PRIVILAGE of training with Mr. Sheppson and boi was I in for a treat! I have learned so much with the MAF. Met so many kind and descent people. Met my Guru, Mr. Dan Rogers, whom I keep in touch with up until today. My experience with MAF has made me the airline pilot I am today…..NO QUESTION ABOUT IT! Hope many more people will get the chance I had to train and learn from the MAF. MAF is living proof that there still is goodness in the world today!
