Man, the craziest run was that night over the Rockies in a twin‑engine beast, engines roaring, wind screaming past the cockpit. I pushed it into a steep climb, 15,000 feet and higher, the city lights turning into a tiny glittering river below. From there I could see every corner of the map—like a map of my own dreams. The sky felt infinite, and in that instant I felt I could take on any challenge. The rush was pure, the fear was there but I let the adrenaline do the talking. That's the moment that really makes you feel invincible.
