Ships in the night...

Mark Vanhoenacker always had a passion for flying, but didn't ever really consider it as a job, until his research as a young academic began to frustrate him and the tug of the skies once more made its presence felt.
 
Today he is a long distance pilot for one of the world's major airlines.
