ever since he was a small boy, he dreamed of becoming a pilot.
The first word he could say was ‘airplane’. Now one of the world’s toughest pilots, major Casper Børge Nielsen, also acknowledge that he has been ‘fartblind’ of all the experiences he has had as a professional pilot.
28. november published the book ‘test Pilot – a life on the frontier’ on the west jutland pilot, which has 4000 flight hours in 65 different aircraft behind him.
– Since the publisher asked me if I wanted to make the book, I was in doubt whether I had fabric enough to tell you about it. Now, I can see that I have been ‘fartblind’ of the many amazing and exciting experiences I have had as both a test pilot and fighter pilot.
It will be the daily life and routine, although it is always a special experience to facilitate in a fighter plane. Just through the work with the book, I have been freshened many exciting experiences. So, I can see that I have had and still have a very exciting life. I may soon not allow me to ask for more, says Casper Børge Nielsen for the Extra Magazine.

In the book tells the Casper Børge Nielsen about how drengedrømmen became a reality. If the ruthless struggle to always be among the best. And about the fear and danger in the context of life as an active fighter pilot.
– of course One must have respect for the danger of the job. And if you are not into from being scared, then something is wrong. But on the contrary, doves it’s also not, if you are nervous every time you climb in your F-16 fighter jets. You should be able to control the fear. You must have a personality, that you can remain calm. And so does the experience, of course, also a part, tells the Casper Børge Nielsen.

– Discipline and control is important in your working life. Is your family also right, when you come home from work?
– No, I will not claim. It is not the case that our four children are brought up to shut up, pace and direction and stand in a row, when the major comes home. It runs certainly not after a string of our family. I have even been freely brought up, and it is our children also. My one son is training to become a pilot, another son plays in two bands and releasing a CD is. Our third son is working in the family firm, and our daughter is still in high school.
– what do you enjoy doing best?
– I was born and raised in Esbjerg, where we have a circle of old friends, as we love to be together with. We travel often with them, and so we like to ski a few times a year. I am interested also for cars. And then I like to cook. I do so often, as it is possible. But I gotta think a bit on the weight. At my age there may soon smoking a few extra pounds on.
