Overview

"The accomplished writer of aviation stories, RJ Turner, offers a vivid and varied collection of panoramas, situations, characters and stories that have captivated him for over thirty years of professional flying. From the elderly mother in Somewhere Over Iowa, whose loneliness is reprieved for a fleeting moment during the empty predawn hours in the middle of nowhere, to a heart-thumping tale of flying through a hurricane, to vignettes of the secretive and spectacular life behind the controls of a modern airliner, he shows us something new on every page. He interweaves evocative stories of the sky with his own insights, impressions and experiences to create a portrait as eclectic as it is engrossing. What readers take away from ""The Pilot,"" and not soon forget, is the remarkable sensation of what it means, in every sense, to fly a passenger airliner for a living. Many of the stories have been previously published in print versions of Airways magazine. Please note: this book is a modified version of a previously published book titled, ""Pilots of the Line."""
