“A compelling account of a young ambitious pilot who makes a career as a charter pilot on a Learjet and learns the tricks of the trade through trial and error. Have you ever flown a Learjet? Then this is your chance, this book describes in detail the sensitivities and strengths of one of the fastest business jets in the world. As a reader you can feel the control stick in your hand and experience the sometimes chilling adventures of the pilot from the driver's seat. You will also be briefed on the technical ins and outs of a small jet plane, and you will learn some tricks that make flying more pleasant. It is fascinating to read how the glamor of a business jet charter company actually stems from the almost slavish dedication of the staff and the craftsmanship and improvisation of the pilots.

This is a smoothly written story to read breathlessly in one go, exciting until the end, for both the flying and non-flying reader.”
