Summary

I think I was destined to fly.... My dad was a barnstormer pilot back in the 1930s (which I talk about in my audiobook Growing up in Oklahoma). This is where I think the DNA thing kicked in, and I wouldn't be satisfied until I was flying through the air. I designed and built my own ultralight aircraft and literally taught myself to fly. Let me take you on some of these adventures; I think you will enjoy them as much as I did.

This audiobook is in three parts:

Part 1: how I learned to fly, and if it wasn't for a stranger (who mysteriously disappeared), I wouldn't be telling you this story.

Part 2: my first combat mission and how your mind can make things more interesting.

Part 3: my secret mission, and I will never do anything like it again.

Come along with me as I share these adventures with you.... I think they will make you smile.
