What does it take to get an adventure off the ground? Two zany aviators looking for a way to make a few bucks doing what they like to do best-fly! Set predominantly in Arizona, the novel takes the reader on a series of rollicking adventures across the western skies, culminating with a serious look at one of this country's biggest injustices.

The somewhat dilapidated airline's first charter flight is enough to leave readers in hysterics, and the author's predilection for colorful language and descriptions keep them entertained throughout the novel. Medicine men, baby bulls, bordellos and porno flicks all keep the the reader laughing and keep the protagonist Mike Murphy in the air.

Anyone with a good sense of humor and a propensity for irreverence will love the novel, but essentially it belongs to a man. If he's a pilot, it belongs to him even more!

Since I am from Arizona, I loved reading the about the adventures of a "local boy". The flying was great and the author's twist on words was brilliant.

When a couple of ex-Navy men start something, you can be sure they'll do it the Navy way. So it was with Air Arizona, the airline they started, but it turned out all right in the end. As a retired Naval Aviator, I recognize and appreciate their problems and solutions (the Navy way). It's a great read and military pilots will enjoy re-living some of their own experiences as they follow these guys in their exploits and successes.
