His dreams conform to many of my dreams, I wish to be an airline pilot and combine it with being an author. I admire Barry for being able to balance both his careers as I believe that being in airline pilot is an extremely challenging job not to mention the stresses of editing and reviewing your books.<br /><br />Barry seems like an inspiring person who is capable of helping and motivating people to achieve their dreams. As displayed by the engine failure turn-around, he weighs up all options and decides on the best by using his intellectual abilities. I think this is an important trait to have while being an airline pilot and deciding on what way to structure your sentences.<br /><br />Thank you Barry for motivating me to follow my dreams and I hope that there are many more subsequent books!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12499146403101178741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-11835324551152756812011-11-23T02:03:27.853-08:002011-11-23T02:03:27.853-08:00You are so welcome Marian!

My mantra has always been (and even carried over into my firefighting career) that the day you know everything is the day you need to step back and stop, or you will hurt or kill yourself or others. Barry provides a lot of knowledge that can help all of us to continue to learn. Maybe one day I can meet him and profile him either in my blog or my examiner.com GA articles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-88061276414588427472011-11-22T19:55:14.199-08:002011-11-22T19:55:14.199-08:00Flyingisualum, I too am studying his wisdom.

Host-anchor was the late Hal Fishman. Rod Machado and Bill Cox were also on the team. Believe it or not, I still have the VHS videotapes. They still play well!<br /><br />As a young Private Pilot working commissary for TWA based in JFK during the early 90's, I wondered if you would taxi your B757/767 up to our international-arrivals terminal. You were flying the 75 at that time, right? That would've been cool!<br /><br />Have a great Thanksgiving and thanks for all of your amazing educational aviation-contributions to GA pilots like me.Windteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03148699610825776044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-61241963169430294212011-11-22T15:32:11.319-08:002011-11-22T15:32:11.319-08:00I'm really excited to read more about Barry th...I'm really excited to read more about Barry this week, he is someone I have always looked up to in aviation!

I remember reading his articles (with a English-Spanish dictionary haha) when i was a teenager, and of course i remember his visit to my Country Venezuela, to the airport where i later learned to fly "Oscar Machado Zuloaga" SVCS .. So thanks so much Captain Schiff for your inspiration and for sharing your knowledge and experience with us ..
