5.0 out of 5 stars Every Flight Crew Member should own this!, September 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 300 Best Aviation Web Sites and 100 More Worth Bookmarking (Paperback)

I was transfered to another domicile and needed to find new lodging accommodations. I noticed this book "300 Best Aviation sites" on one of the Flight OPS employees desk and started thumbing though it. I found a web site that caters to flight crews for lodging accommodations, "Crashpads.com". Without this book I would of been spending big bucks staying in a hotel. Instead, it save me a bundle by bunking up with fellow aviators. With all of the aviation resources that are covered inside this book, all professional crew members should not be without it. Thank you again "Crashpads.com" and "300 Best Aviation Web Sites", you made my life a bit easier.
