Rating: Summary: An exhilarating flight Review: Most of us have heard the saying, "There's nothing to fear, but fear itself." This rhetoric sounds good, but to actually put it to use is a completely different story. Fear can stop someone from experimenting with new activities, eating exotic foods, and traveling to foreign lands. But once you overcome the fear, you will most likely discover joy. This joy comes from the accomplishment of breaking the imaginary chains of thought which held you hostage. Wings of Discovery helps to clip the chains of fear. The premise of the book is about overcoming the fear of flying. Although his father was a pilot, Mark succumbs to a horrendous phobia about flying. Then one day, he spots two ultralight planes having "fun" in the air. While the planes land, Mark tracks them in his car and introduces himself to the pilots. This marks the beginning of his adventure - pursing his passion, following his dream and conquering his fear. Capt. Stacy L. Chance introduces the reader to a wealth of information about how the Federal Aviation Administration ensures the safety of aircraft. He also entertains by intermingling his vivid descriptions of the landscapes and scenery when his characters take flight. I felt as if I soared through the air, and watched as the coyote ran to keep up with the plane. For anyone really interested in learning to fly, I learned that airplane kits are available. I definitely recommend Wings of Discovery for anyone who wants to learn more about aviation, and to release any fears that hinder them from soaring to new dimensions.
Rating: Summary: This book has wings. Review: The main character (Mark) finds the miracle of flight and friendship while conquering fear through achievement. Quirky and sometimes mysterious characters help keep it rolling down the runway - A wise mentor named Dan; A spontaneous pilot named Rich; An old dog named Jetlag; A parrot named Howie; And the airstrip's (Dreamland) owner, an elderly woman named Amelia. As a child I'd dreamt of flying like a bird and this book sinks its talons into your flesh and carries you skyward. An easy read with the reward of a glimpse into the wonderful world of flying and our hero`s view of life. I bought the book for a flight to Vegas. I ended up dehydrated as I couldn't put it down to take a sip of water! I've discovered my wings.
Rating: Summary: A Must Read! Review: Truly an informative as well as entertaining story. The author does a wonderful job of explaining the mysteries of flight. I picked up the book and did not put it down until I was finished. My next flight will be much more enjoyable for this once fearful flier.
