MY 2 CENTS
Patty Bear, former military pilot and 777 captain (ret.) — “The ritual of storytelling among pilots passes on some vital knowledge soaked up by the brotherhood and sisterhood of the sky. Any experienced pilot will tell you there’s no such thing as a perfect flight, and the best pilots will tell you they learn something new each flight. Whether you are a new or aspiring pilot, or a grey-haired experienced one, there are nuggets of wisdom slathered generously throughout this book.”
Mandy Hickson, British Royal Air Force fast-jet pilot (ret.) and author of “An Officer, Not a Gentleman” offers words that echo the spirit of Edgington’s encouraging book — “How often do you steer away from taking on a new challenge or experience because you’re worried you might fail? I’m sure we’re all guilty of this at some point in our lives, but until you try, you never know what you are good at. Once you have a goal
to visualize, it’s always easier to work towards it, to focus on it. So whatever your ambition is...Dream it, Believe it, Do it!”
My personal thoughts — “‘Postflight: An Old Pilot’s Logbook’ documents over four decades of personal knowledge, tips, and stories, but this book offers you much more. It includes stories and anecdotes passed along from other experienced aviators as well, so you can learn from their time in the cockpit. This book is a must-read if you’re interested in learning from those who have ‘been there, done that’ because if heeded, their experiences will make your career in aviation much safer.”
“Postflight” and Edgington’s other books are available in paper and digital format at
Amazon.com.
