Summary: One of the best aviation books I've ever read!
Review: After flying for over 42 years, including 5 Navy and 32+ major airline, I would recommend this book to ANYONE with even a remote interest in flying. It's funny, brings back memories of similar tales from any old aviators past and paints a vivid picture of a somewhat "rougher" road to the majors than many of us had to endure. Delightful, irreverant, haliarous!

Summary: Wish the book didn't end.....
Review: Every story in this book kept me extremely entertained. I had a hard time putting the book down some nights, as I couldn't wait to see how Pete's story would end. I am sincere when I say that I would like to see Pete write another one like this. Thanks Pete Kitfox Chip

Summary: A Must Book Even for Non Pilots
Review: I have known Pete Fusco for at least fiften years and can assure you that he speaks and acts exactly as the way he comes across in print. He has a very fertile imagination and a mind that must contain a repertoire of at least 1,000 jokes, an one of which he may unleash at any time on an unsuspecting public. This is a tremendous book-a fun book to read and one that I put on a par with Confedracy of Dunces, which won a Pulitzer Prize. Ir is a must book for anyone who desires to look at life through the eyes of someone who sees the lighter side of humanity in whatever he does and is willing to make fun of himself in doing so. Pete, if you are reading this review I want you to know that I didn't die and am very much alive. You keep me that way with your humor. You are one hell of a funny guy.

Summary: For every pilot, young and old, new and jaded
Review: I met Pete the other day, where I fly. He's a quiet, unassuming, friendly fellow. And that's what is so great about his book -- you'd never expect such great stories, such wonderful writing, such genuine entertainment between the covers of a book, of all things. For those who love flying ... whether around the patch or long hauls, alone or with family and friends or bussing passengers coast-to-coast ... this marvelous little book holds truths (and consequences), and belly-splitting laughter. You'll page through this hoping that it won't end. And I asked Pete about that -- he's writing another book. Hopefully he'll produce a whole string of sequels to entertain us for years to come! BUY THIS BOOK -- YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!!

Summary: This guy really isn't kidding!
Review: I soloed in 1956 at age 16 and had my first flying job at 17, flying up and down the coast of Florida. The list of rogues and colorful characters that many of us encountered in those days was like a visit to Disney's Pirate's of the Caribbean attraction today, and high adventure, many good laughs and not a small amount of danger paved the way for many a young man starting a career in aviation. Pete Fusco has captured the spirit and character of those days with great humor and accuracy. For you old pilots, pick up the book, it will bring back many cherished memories. You young fellows just starting out in today's sterile,over-regulated and bureaucratic aviation world, need to read the book as well to see what you missed (sometimes thankfully). Moondog's Air Academy will round out your aviation history education with an incredibly funny look at the way things used to be. Highly recommended! Terry Brant, ATP, CFII

Summary: Over the top, and funny
Review: If you enjoy good humor, you should read this book. If you are a pilot, you should definitely read this book. If you are a pilot who enjoys good humor, you MUST read this book. I laughed aloud so much that my wife bought a copy for our friend, a retired airline captain. He laughs aloud continually as he reads it. The vignettes are over the top, but within each chapter are aphorisms that you will recall with a grin long after you have finished the book. The plot line is aviation, but the humor is universal. Those who are not pilots will enjoy it; those with any aviation experience will love it.

Summary: Airline pilots will love this book!
Review: If you liked "Fate is the Hunter", you'll like Pete Fusco's "Moondog's Academy of the Air and other disasters". The book is both funny and poignant and has special meaning for those of us who "clawed" our way up to an airline cockpit. Well written,...couldn't put it down. Capt. John Benson
