Ottawa Flying Club great place to learn
“A highlight in my career was when I was selected by the Canada Space Program to become an astronaut but I had to drop out due to medical reasons. I was an aeronautical engineer and often worked with C5 aircraft. We had to do all sorts of environmental training, much of it underwater. Once we lived in an underwater dive chamber for a week to simulate what it would be like to live in a space station,” he added. But now it’s nice to be on the management side of things because I have a family and small children so my priorities have changed.”
