Tell them what you do. So I'm Gabriel and Gabriel Arbus I guess the full name right. So yeah I'm a helicopter pilot now cfi. Thanks to Kenny and many people along the way who have conspired to make me who I am today. I've been flying all my life. I cannot tell you when my first flight lesson proper was. I can tell you a date. I could tell you that on February of 2011 when was 10 my grandfather told me I'm going to give you the best gift you've ever received in your life and you're gonna come fly with me. And that's the first time that I can remember handling all three controls I had to wear and that's one of the reasons why I have this here today. I had to wear a pillow in the seat rest so I could reach the pedals half reach the pedals and I remember it as such a good experience.
