Mastering the art of flying is a continuos journey along a path towards an elusive and worthy destination. Mastering the art of flying is a worthy goal which has a positive affect on of those who we fly with and those we fly over. Our journey towards mastering the art of flying leads us to our ultimate goal of realizing our individual potential.

The Journey Begins

The most difficult aspects of our journey towards our goal of becoming a better pilot and mastering the art of flying is getting started and maintaining our direction. Dave English through his website “The Inner Art Of Airmanship” is one of the best resources for those who wish to achieve a higher level of achievement as a pilot.

Recently I had the opportunity to speak with Dave about his website and his passion for helping pilots master the art of flying. Dave is a friendly and articulate airline Captain with a background in psychology. I highly recommend “The Inner Art Of Airmanship”. You will be inspired by his stories, entertained by his eloquent prose, and educated through his practical examples.
