How often are you in the air?

Uh, quite a bit.

A couple of times a week now.

Rob Mark is a pilot.

You used to work for the FAA.

I fly little ones and big ones and things in between and everybody tells me that I'm

never shy with an opinion.

So, as you can probably tell.

But there's one thing Rob doesn't love talking about.

All the times things have gone wrong while he's been in the cockpit.

You know, I mean, I've had a few things happen.

I don't think any pilot can get through a career without having something go on where they

think, hmm, this wasn't what it was supposed to do.

There was that time he had a fuel pump fail on him outside of an air strip in Illinois.

Another time he was flying some folks around and heard the engines start to slow down.

Then the nose began to dip.

I could feel the engine start to slow down.

I mean, I don't know how much altitude we lost, not very much.

But again, when it's happening, you almost don't even have time to think about it.

It's only after it's done that you think, and you're breathing, you're going, oh boy,

what was that?

Pilots don't like to talk about that.
