Air travel is a modern miracle, yet I have a love/hate relationship with it. While flying can be uncomfortable, the ability to cross continents in hours is astounding. The aerospace industry is booming, with strong demand and innovation driving growth. I've invested heavily in this sector, betting on its long-term potential.
