Chris Markel holds a private pilot's license, logging over 150 hours across seven aircraft in urban and rural airspace. As president of Purdue Pilots, Inc., Markel gained experience in owning & operating aircraft, cost-control, federal compliance, and even mounting cameras in gnarly places.
Equally passionate about the airline industry, Markel holds a strong comprehension on domestic and global carriers, fleets, routes, and has made media appearances on related subjects.
On the ground, he regularly monitors radar activity and enjoys frequenting airliners.net. In addition to Markel's photography page, a handful of his photos from above can be found below.
