Jimmy Hayes is my new aviation idol.

This man is an absolute inspiration. Well done AOPA, one of the best pieces of content you've ever produced

[@lionelguilbert6493]

Jimmy is a great guy and I consider myself privileged to have him at SRQ. I am one of the lucky one to have taken a ride in the L-39, an unforgettable experience.

What a gentleman. Money, for people like him, is just a means, not an end in itself.

[@TheShays]

AOPA great production! More of these pilot highlights please.

Awesome that you kept the Austrian Air Force markings on the bird and also put the roundel on your helmet!
