So it's exactly what happened.

And there I was, I guess, by this stage or mid to late 20s, kind of thinking about it in earnest.

So rather being about rather than be that that gentleman down the pub sort of flexing bicep sort of.

Talking about it, I wanted to walk the walk on that.

So I literally went to the U.S.

Embassy in London, persuaded them that I wasn't a security threat because this was post 9-11, got my visa and passed the sort of interview sort of criteria there.

And they were kind of satisfied, got the visa, went to Florida, went to Florida.

Reason being was because I was enticed by the prospect of better security.

if you like, meteorological weather conditions.

And in Florida, you know, it's ideal, you know, good sun.

I mean, it's sun practically 365 days a year, although you get sweeping kind of weather fronts that come through that on a daily basis.

That's not uncommon.

And I was then, you know, doing the business for a period of about one month.

So that was the course that I was doing, and it was a comprehensive flying training program that I'd signed up for.

Again, because of good weather, I'd gone to Florida.

A chance to fulfill it in a relatively short time frame because of that.

And I'd been doing the business with various US flight instructors and everything was going really well.

And then towards the end, I'm now pilot in command.

So solo, I think it was my eighth day of solo work in the afternoon.

So I'd already been up in the morning.
