Ég bað ChatGPT að búa til cartoon mynd af mér sem tæki á ferilskránni minni. Það tókst, myndi ég segja. Flugöryggismálin í forgrunni. ICAA flugvélin er fyrir árin mín hjá Flugmálastjórn. Play flugvélin í höndunum á mér. Samtök Ferðaþjónustunnar (SAF) eru þarna og Flugráð Innviðaráðuneytisins en þar sit ég enn í dag. Ráðgjafafyrirtækið mitt (GAC) eru þarna. Þyrlan er mætt og kýpverski dróninn. Vantar bara flugkennsluna, air law kennsluna og hin flugfélögin sem ég hef unnið fyrir 😉
