The best part is that I was Born today, it's my 15 birthday! And it's been a year since I got my flying lessons and I'm loving every bit of it!

Listing anniversaries for April 12th could be a TITANIC venture.

Happy birthday, Da Judge!

Not a Titanic venture at all.  Titanic set sail from Southampton on 10 April and sank on 14 April.  lol

In the Russian Federation, its called "Den' Kosmonavtiki" ("Cosmonaut Day") I wonder why  ;)
The cool thing is that, for a short time before his death, Gagarin taught at an Airforce Academy (Zhukovsky Academy) that is right across the street from me!
It isn't a flying academy, its an engineering one.
