Riaan van Zyl - Airline Pilot - You're always learning no matter how long you've been flying.

"If ever I cannot learn from somebody something, I'll take my wings, hang them up, go sit on the stoep, have a beer and look at the sunset" says Airline pilot Riaan van Zyl. Even younger people have something that they can give you as a guy with 22 000 hours. The bottom line is that the learning curve, you're going to have it for the rest of your life, doesn't matter what you fly, how you fly or how long you've been flying. Riaan is talking about how he was called out of retirement and given the opportunity to fly as a commercial airline Pilot again for Air link in South Africa. He gives some insight into his career in aviation and his role as Captain during a flight. Riaan also tells of his passion for aviation since a young age and path he had to follow to become a commercial Pilot. Hear more about Riaan's wishes for the future and what happens behind the scenes in the cockpit.
