AVIATION HISTORY

I am very interested in history in general and aviation history in particular. This section includes a few articles on museums that I have visited as well as some other items that have been provided to me. If you have any content for this section, please send it to me and I will include it along with credit to the source. E-mail me at gene@genebenson.com.

INTERESTED IN AN AVIATION CAREER?

The world of professional aviation can be extremely rewarding. It can also be filled with many pitfalls and discouragements. It is not for everyone and timing is everything.

This page provides some links to some aviation career information. The information will be updated frequently, so check back often.

Please give me your thoughts or share your own career experiences, either positive or negative. Please contact me via e-mail at gene@genebenson.com.

NEAT STUFF

You might find just about anything in my "Neat Stuff" section. Most of the items are related to aviation but a few are not. When I find something I like, this is where I tell the world about it. On occasion, I might find something that I don't like and I'll tell about that too. The items in this section change rather frequently, so check back often.

ABOUT MY COMMENTARY

I'm never short on opinions. (Once in awhile, one or two of them actually make sense.) The articles linked to this page are just that, my opinions.
