When he's not flying, he can usually be found in the hangar working on the planes (all of his shirts have the pilot's telltale sign - oil stains). Brian is a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) for aerobatic and tailwheel instruction and maintains a long list of ratings and endorsements, including being a member of the Splash & Dash club (i.e. seaplane rating).
