Imagine what it is like to have dinner conversations centred on spoilers, stick and rudder, mach numbers, the latest plane models among other aircraft mumbo jumbo. That is the reality in the Wachira household where everyone is an aviator. The Wachiras have inadvertently created an aviation dynasty. Everyone in the nuclear family except the mother is a pilot.
