An interesting read about the experiences of a pilot, flight instructor, and overall good guy. Not sure why some found this book not as enjoyable as I found it to be. It had some good lessons that pilots and non pilots need to be reminded.

I liked it. I suppose I was expecting a more detailed work. Interesting just the same.

Thoroughly enjoyed

A wonderful book, full of stories and insights on the joy of flying. Reminds me of the joy I had while I could fly. Outstanding!

Interesting. Seems like he didn't leave out a single story or detail...unfortunately. Could use an editor and deleted about 25% or more of the writing.

Very enjoyable read. Not only the specific stories about the airplane, but I learned a bit on how the piloting industry works. And on top of that, a few other enjoyable related stories.
