4.0 out of 5 stars bad title, August 7, 1999

By A Customer

Even though this is a pretty informative book, the title really is deceptive. The reason I bought it is because I recently got my private license and thought this book might give me some ideas on how I could use it. Sort of like a list of 101 creative ways I could use my license - fly for charities, ferry planes, etc. However, this book has nothing to do with that. It's a misc list of topics about flying. From weather to airports to buying a plane.

Although it's a good little book, I didn't want anybody to make the same mistake I did.
