I Learned About Flying From That, Vol. 3 (I Learned about Flying from That)

Summary: Here's to always learning about flying
Review: As a new pilot, in my initial excitement, I bought way more books than I could read. However, the I LEARNED ABOUT FLYING FROM THAT (columns in FLYING magazine AND the) book was one of the least expensive, most readable, most educational investments I made. I am planning to get the others in the series too. It is amazing how avoidable some accidents are, and how many lessons can be learnt from other unavoidable ones, so that we do not fall victim to them. Even the non-flying reader will immensely enjoy the books. And, come to think of it, they cost less than some fiction and less interesting books. ....

Summary: The really wild blue yonder
Review: Great bunch of stories for the aviation enthusiast or pilot. I have every intention of being a pilot so this book was a great read. It's like an old veteran pilot sitting next to you and telling you war stories, tips, and pointers that could save your hide in the future.
Some amusing moments of course. The one with the canoe had me chuckling pretty good.
Also shows you that flying is an absolute discipline that should never be taken with complacency. All too human pilots do make mistakes no matter how good they think they are.
Alert and methodical pilots enjoy flying for a long time. Anything other than that and you're going to be a statistic.

Summary: Laugh And Shudder At The Same Time!
Review: I am not yet a pilot, though I intend to be in the near future. I really enjoyed this book as it gave me insight not only into flying, but also into the attitudes of pilots. While reading this book, you really feel like you get into the heads of these pilots and see their philosophies. And it's fun to read as well!
