Most of you will know of Anti-Virus software, in fact if you are sitting at a PC chances are that your machine has some installed.

John McAfee was one of the first pioneers of AV software, with his company McAfee being one of the market leaders in the AV industry. He sold his stake in the company years ago and went off to do other things.



With $100 million in his back pocket he has decided to buy a bit of land in americas southwest and form a band of aviators known as the Sky Gypsies.

The National Geographic Article in the June/July Edition details what you can do with a spare $100m in your back pocket ;-)

Probably the best quote that John made in the article that defines what is different between Microlight and 3-Axis aircraft is:

"I learned to fly in a Cessna back in the mid-seventies and it didn't turn me on," says McAfee. "It was like flying a tin can. But when I flew a trike, I thought, OK, this is what flying is supposed to be about. I could feel the air, I could smell the vegetation. It's as close as you can come to being a bird."

And of course...their recent PR exercise seems to have sprouted a video...



By the way...for those of you that didnt immediately notice, John is in his sixties and has a girlfriend in her twenties. I dont think he will be reaching for his pipe and slippers just yet!
