Life can be unpredictable at times. I've heard numerous stories of people who were forced to quit their jobs in aviation because of COVID-19. The upside is that life's unpredictable nature "brings" the real fans back into the business. Perhaps in a slightly different way.
Alberto Arévalo Garcia, a future pilot, was another aviation enthusiast I met at General Aviation Service Madrid. His GAS colleagues will undoubtedly welcome him as a pilot one day!
