This is a story how I got into aviation as a pilot, and the direction my career path took. I flew cargo from the 1980's to the present time. From older planes and pilots that are no longer around, to the more modern cargo jets up to today's Boeing 747 jumbo jet.

Enjoyable read. What I loved about this is to hear the voice of an ordinary person, who wanted to become a pilot. If I were to sum it up in one line ? DOWN TO EARTH.

what? No mot?
I have been a passenger in many a dangerous vehicle that would have, in these days of more thorough mot checks, have failed theirs but they were not scary dangerous. These aircraft, on the other hand, definitely were and i wonder that anyone survived unscathed. This book is one of those that explains everything which makes it accessible to the lay reader and pilots alike or, at least, those wanting to become pilots. it might be a bit wearing to those that already know the terminolog ...more
