Well, I'd like to welcome a really cool aviator into the Plane Talk cockpit, Whitney Hammond, who has a very cool background with, uh, with aircraft and a little event that, that happened in April.
So I seem to recall you've got some cool ratings, flying really interesting airplanes like Cessnas and Cirruses, and, and what else?
It's actually [laughs] it's actually a destroyer because if you have a choice betwe- [laughs] you, you just wanna take the TBM all the time.
But, you know, yesterday I was out flying, you know, over Georgian Bay and the islands up here.
And being in the, the Cirrus is really nice bec- you know, 'cause you're a lot closer to the ground and you can look at a lot of things.
But pretty much the TBM is get in, get up, get to where you're going and get down.
