Most the "guys" (at the time, a female aero engineer was rare) were 20 yrs older and were some the early employees at Douglas Aircraft in El Segundo, CA.  

For me it is better to find a really good deal (meaning price way below market), renting the property for a few years and then selling it, instead of chasing quick flips, or following the cashflow mantra.I don't really see any reason to rush and purchase properties when prices are hitting 8 year highsThis week I attended a conference call with the CEO of a big airline in Europe, who defined the current market as «a rollercoaster», impossible to predict, and gave a grim outlook of the current situation of air traffic and the airline industry..When people don't fly or travel, aircraft manufacturers don't make money, carmakers lower production, rental car companies go bankrupt, car sales go down, and people are being fired by millions.. maybe it's the time to be patientEven oil traded at negative prices just a few months ago!

And last week he became Aircraft Carrier Certified.
