Based in the West of Ireland, David is private pilot with modest skills but grand ambitions. Enthralled since childhood by all things aeronautical, his background runs from Physics to PR and he loves how flying is a source of both joy and learning. Balancing his job as a systems administrator with playing on the floor with his toddler, he flies his 1940's Luscombe whenever he can, blogging about it at www.clearofcloud.ie. He admits to daydreaming about flying big piston warbirds but points out that owning his own aeroplane used to be just a daydream too. Oh, and he can occasionally be found playing euphonium.
