Orval Fairbairn

Having flown a variety of aircraft over the years, I never pass up the opportunity to try a new plane out; regardless if it is a heavy jet, or a small two seat general aviation aircraft.

Kyler Laird
I've posted lots of messages about how much my wife and I appreciate
our Bose headsets, followed by several about how my wife's headset
