Cran Earning His Wings

From his earliest days, Cran’s love affair with the skies was palpable, earning his wings long before most even hit the road. Taking his school teachers on flights was just the beginning, as Cran’s passion for flight became ingrained in his very being. With thousands of hours logged in the cockpit, Cran’s odyssey has taken him from the rugged terrain of outback Australia, serving with the Royal Flying Doctors, to the bustling corridors of international airports, piloting massive jet airliners with finesse.
