Short Finals: An Aviation Adventure. "It's Time To Fly"

186 pg.979-8713651503Review written by: Max HeldringAs the author said in his preview “strap yourself in the jump seat” and let Scot Gibson (the main person in this book ) fly you around the world. And that is what this book is all about. You fly with Scot during his active career as a pilot in so many different planes and different disciplines that it also a book for non aviators who are interested in the aviation world.
