This year Blake McNaughton has been as far west as Vancouver, and as far east as Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, or Conception Bay, Newfoundland. He's gone up north to Yellowknife and down south to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. And he's been to hundreds of towns and cities in between.

According to author Jeff Walters: For nearly two decades, I've wanted to fly.

I think it was some sort of TV show I saw that involved some teenager talking about getting his pilot's licence before his complete driver's licence that peaked my interest.

"I remember where I was when I first saw 2001," recalls Texas-born Sullenberger, 65, during a Toronto promotional stop for Sully, Clint Eastwood's new docudrama.

According to author Dick Karl: When I first started flying Part 135 on five-day rotations, I anticipated meeting up with earthbound friends on overnights in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, New Haven, Boston and Bozeman. I further expected to fetch up in various locales with flying friends on their trips. For airline friends, I thought Baltimore, New York, LA, Oakland, Sacramento, Chicago or Dallas might be common crossing fixes where we could share a drink, a dinner and a laugh.
