If you're a pilot or have ever dreamed of becoming one, you'll love this
book! Greg Brown takes readers into the cockpit of his small plane and
shares all the struggles, triumphs and the crazy adventures of a pilot
from his novice days through today, with several decades of experience
behind him. In the course of these adventures, Flying Carpet shows not
only how people fly - but why. The author's adventures take place in the
course of every type of mission from surmounting family emergencies to
visit unusual destinations - in ways that only travel by airplane
allows. Pilot readers will be stimulated to pursue similar destinations
in their own flying carpets. Aviators seeking purpose for their flying
skills will find it here.

I found the book immensely readable. The language is simple and
straightforward and the stories are broken down into short chapters,
each a separate adventure, which is ideal if your reading time is
limited. I also liked the variety of stories -- some were harrowing,
some were downright hilarious and all of them made me wish I had been
along for the ride. Hardcover : 256 pages.
