17 Who is your aviation hero?

My dad. He taught me that if aviation is in your blood, you just don't turn it off at the end of the day. And he worked so hard at a family business. He and my mom raised five children by running an airport, which is no small feat. The aviation business can have its hard times. But my Dad put everything into aviation. And I don't think he was expecting any huge rewards. He was happy just to be able to work on airplanes and be around them. He really motivated me.
