The Skill Of An Old Bold Pilot
Author: Major Kopan
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
In 1967, a group of combat-experienced fighter pilot volunteers was brought together in South Viet Nam to form a top-secret squadron with a now-famous callsign - MISTY. They were stationed first at Phu Cat Air Base, then in 1969, they moved to Tuy Hoa Air Base. The author knew at an early age what he wanted to be a fighter pilot. He managed to get an appointment at the Naval Academy. It was a start. But when he learned that upon graduation from the Academy, he could transfer into the Air Force and directly into pilot training, he knew this was what he wanted to do. Years passed, as he honed his flying skills in fighter squadrons and later as a test pilot. Then came the ultimate challenge. A combat tour in Vietnam as a "Misty FAC", a then classified, extremely dangerous mission, directing airstrikes against targets along the Ho Chi Minh trail in North Vietnam and Laos. All pilots were volunteers and the losses were high. In his simple, plain-spoken way, the author describes how he survived in the flak-filled skies over North Vietnam.

Short Tales by a Tall Pilot
Author: Jim Lewis
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1475969872
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
When pilots sit around an airport or get together at a hotel lounge for beers or cocktails, they're almost certain to regale each other, and anyone else who will listen, with embellished tales of their greatest aviation exploits. The longer these stories continue, the more the similarities grow between the pilots' war stories and fish stories. As the night wears on, the exploits they share are likely to grow more and more elaborate and outlandish. In the spirit of those war stories, author Jim Lewis, who has worked as a professional pilot since the mid-sixties, offers his share of stories from his experiences. Many of these short stories are the result of mistakes in judgment, while others arose from deliberate decisions to proceed made from ignorance. A few were simply experiences that came with being a professional pilot, and two or three were blatant rule breaking. Lewis recalls landing in a soybean field, buzzing a nuclear submarine, flying under a bridge, running low on fuel, and tasting life in the cockpit of a jet liner. Some of his tales are humorous, while others take on a more dangerous nature. All of them, however, offer a lesson for others to learn.
