Summary: Couldn't put it down
Review: It's about the real life in becoming an airplane pilot in the big city. Equivalent to being streetwise while high. Sort of the art of getting older with out really growing up. It had me in stitches with all the stories. If I were him (the author and pilot) I would join the witness protection pogram. This might become required reading for Psych 101. Don't miss it.

Summary: A Very Funny Book
Review: Ordinarily, I don't like books written by pilots. When Pete Fusco's book was recommended to me, however, I was interested since I also grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio at about the same time Pete did.When the book arrived, I must tell you that I was immensely pleased. His book is very well written and describes an odyssey in civilian aviation which is humorous, poignant and entertaining. I'm a commercial airline pilot who was schooled in aviation via the United States Navy flying fighters during the Viet Nam War. I didn't have to go through many of the experiences which Pete Fusco did (although nobody ever fired missiles at him!). But his experiences related in the book kept me spellbound and laughing until I finished it which was on the same day it was delivered. Well, actually, it was at three in the morning on the day after. If you enjoy good books about flying and learning to fly, don't pass this one up. It's well worth the price. Bruce J.

Summary: To one of the best co-pilots I flew with
Review: Pete Fusco and I flew together for several years and the stories he relates in his book are just a few of the real great tales of non-sched cargo days. Pete did not disappoint me. He has always been the best storyteller around. For aviation affectionados that think flying is a gravy train, they need to read this book about what a flying career is all about. Great book! I can't wait for his encore.

Summary: Old CAL/NYA/ONA/AIR-JAM/AAA/TPA Etc. Pilot
Review: Shades of my yesteryears also. Pete has written a book that any pilot who has struggled to get and maintain a flying job would truly understand. Even my 90 year old mother laughed her way through the book, probably rememering the furloughs and the times that I returned to the shelter of the family ice box. Any pilot who miss's this book will miss a great experience. (Don't read it while your flying, the laughter might alarm the pax.)

Summary: Great Book...
Review: This book has to be one of the funniest books I have ever read...and I think a good bit of it is true... I was part of the life and times Pete wrote about. In 1965, Pete and I were classmates, and roommates at Zantop Air Transport. We flew the C-46 and lived to tell about it........and Pete did! Great Book!
