Michael Herrmann

Founder & Chief Editor

Michael’s heart has been beating for aviation since childhood. So it’s not surprising that his path led from small throwing gliders to remote-controlled model airplanes to the cockpit of gliders and motor planes. Despite today’s modern technology on board, Michael is still attracted by the classic dead reckoning navigation with only compass, airspeed indicator and wristwatch. The latter probably also explains his great enthusiasm for the fascinating world of pilot watches.
