"You just can't pull over to a cloud and check the oil…"
Fasten your seat belt and soar around the globe—with a view from the cockpit…
Captain Frank Donohue takes readers on a remarkable, behind-the-scenes journey of the making of an airline pilot—revealing the ups and downs of each flight. He shares the one thing that sparked his interest in becoming a pilot, the challenge of obtaining a license, and the career path that nearly took a nosedive. Now, with over three decades of flying experience, Frank gives others the opportunity to see the world from the cockpit—and a guide to life in the skies.
Whether you're a pilot, aspiring to become one…or prefer your passenger status, Frank gives a vivid firsthand account of the not-so-glamorous side of flying. Pilots must make quick, intense decisions, and Frank shares impressive details of the time he faced a mechanical emergency, circumnavigating the globe, and a hair-raising wind-shear landing. Each story gives readers a unique perspective—and an adventure one can only witness while flying with Frank.
