Delta Airlines Captain John Roberts is an NYVS member and a graduate of the Travel Channel Academy.

Who better to create travel videos than an airline pilot.  You spend your life seeing the world!

Now, Captain Roberts has a second career:

He has just accepted an offer from Time/Warner Cable to create travel videos for them!

This short on Gettysburg is his first piece – with many more to come.

It all makes sense.

Who, after all, would you rather have showing you the world of travel – someone who actually does it all the time, or someone who works out of a cubicle in a prodution company in Manhattan?

The opportunities are all here, if you are willing to take your shot.

Congratulations John! Well done!
