Shout Out to David Tan - Mentor Extraordinaire

I'd like to personally acknowledge the support and friendship of a great mentor David Tan! He's a studly pilot for NetJets, and owns a Porsche and a sport plane or two. He's a life long pilot from Singapore and was one of my best MBA classmates at Goizueta Business School at Emory. I'm thrilled to have his advice, his support and his expertise - but most of all his friendship over many years.

He is in Madison, WI now, and his wife Nancy is a university professor. From his Facebook: "I operate fine European machinery from the houses of Dassault, SIAI-Marchetti and Porsche". Damn if he doesn't - he is a man of fine taste and deep passion for operating great machines!

David is supporting me as my mentor in the AOPA Project Pilot program. This program, and David's support, drastically increases the odds of me becoming a pilot and blesses me with the skilled inputs of a veteran pilot. Thanks AOPA and Thanks David! He lives the life I dream of - jetting around the world a week at a stretch, then taking a week off for fun, flight and friends. Who knows, maybe in a few years I'll be PIC of a jet like my mentor!

To David:
Thanks for your mentoring and happy (belated) Birthday my friend!
