"In Flight" - Speedbird B747 FO writes beautifully about LHR-NRT
One of the most beautiful, lyrical, and informative pieces of writing I have read anywhere. I was going to call it beautiful aviation writing, but it is just beautiful writing. (nyti.ms) 更多...

Having never flown an aircraft into DCA personally, I was unaware of the way point names that this story shows. I think it was a very touching and cleverly created memorial to 9/11 when I saw it.
Just when you think literary skill has declined in our cold, technical age - this gentleman reminds us of the elegant simplicity of the spoken (written) word. Outstanding!
I will buy your book Captain! My dad was a Master Mariner in fore and aft sail as well as steam. I can hear him speaking your words to me, from so long ago. God speed in all of your flights!
A great window into the pilot mind. Reminiscent of E.K Gann's "Fate is the Hunter".
I will buy the book, of course. :-)

A fascinating read - both for the seasoned flier as well as the novice.
This year it will be 55 years since my "first solo" and in all those years I have never read a more informative piece of writing which beautifully describes what happens on the flight deck in terms that both a pilot and a layman will find engaging and delightful.
