This is the very first of what I hope will be many interesting tales told by equally interesting Kiwi characters. In this first episode, my very good mate Willie Sage is my guinea pig, and we discuss his early life, getting started in his aviation career, Sounds Air, Vincent Aviation, and he gives advise for those entering an aviation career.
