If you could leave the Aviation industry what would you miss?

Anything that I would miss died 10+ years ago

Seems to be the normal vibe here in Canada.  There is no work here anymore…. 

[gwk]

The camaraderie of fellow aircrew.

The sound of a Bell Medium on a cold winter day Heli-skiing.

The gentle kiss of the landing gear on a steel deck when the A/C settles without any collective input.

Taking off, fully loaded, on a 40'+ day and finessing everything just right, so as to not drag the skids once.

Night Rig Landings.

The smell and looks of a well used cockpit.

The awe and wide eyed amazement of a first time passenger.

 Many others too long to list.

Is that a green white and yellow bag?

That is either a collector's idea.... or the reason for all the other equipment in the picture. 

Lol.

I have the bags as well somewhere in the store room.

The last day I worked for N.M.H. I gave my winter jacket to a dancer in PG. She wore it everywhere so I was told.

I'd miss the flying and the good people that aren't so full of themselves. Other than that I can honestly say that I could leave this quite easily. More Cons than pros to be fair.

Sad but true, wasn’t always that way in Canada.  It’s a sad state of  affairs, and has been for more than ten years as someone else said
