Fly Yellow Side Up stories for the heart!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fly Yellow Side Up (Paperback)
This author is just wonderful. Descriptive stories, you feel like you are there. If you're a pilot it is a must read. My father was a pilot for many years and he was gifted with this book. When he was dying of cancer I was able to visit him and he wanted me to read to him from this book. That was our last visit together and I will always have an attachment to the wonderful short stories this book provided.

Pilots and wanna be pilots will love this little book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fly Yellow Side Up (Paperback)
A young flight instructor and his new wife move to a
resort in Ontario for a tourist season. He flys
floatplanes, and the book is a series of short chapters
describing the experience. The gruff owner, worried flight
line manager, old-salt pilots, tourists, students and old
time residents all provide great fun for the author and you
the reader.
