Michael Strasser

Mike lives in Las Vegas and works as the chief pilot for a helicopter outfit in California. He has gathered many years of varied experience in aviation as a certified commercial pilot, fire pilot, aircraft mechanic and certified flight instructor.

Ever since he was a kid, Mike always wanted to become a pilot. His career started right after serving as an UN soldier in Cyprus, where he was able to put aside some money for his pilot license. Like so many others before him, the pursuit of his dream brought him to California. Following through with his plan cost him a lot of work, money and patience, but in the end he was successful, and is now leading an adventurous life as a fire helicopter pilot. He could write a book about his work if he thought anybody would believe it.

But as it turned out, comic strips are a much more suitable medium to re-narrate his anecdotes anyway.
