Confessions of a Phantom Pilot: Memories of Flying the Phantom Fgr2 - Tug Wilson

Descriere Confessions of a Phantom Pilot: Memories of Flying the Phantom Fgr2 - Tug Wilson

\nThe Confessions of a Phantom Pilot is the true story of a young RAF pilot who gets his dream to fly the old dirty workhorse fighter of the Cold War. From the first flight where he thought the jet was trying to kill him, through to his final trip of leading eight airplanes on a front line fighter squadron, you will relive his thoughts, feelings, and anxieties as he stumbles his way through each flight relying on a bit of skill and a lot of blind luck. In essence, it is a love letter to the Phantom from a star-struck boy who felt like he was way out of his depth at the beginning of their affair. You will share stories of the outrageous drinking culture that was a major part of Cold War front-line operations, and marvel at how he didn't do himself some serious damage either in or out of the cockpit. \n \nThis is how it feels to be a front-line fighter pilot - the triumphs and the disasters are all laid out here in a completely open and honest way as the author looks back with a certain sense of nostalgia and mild embarrassment. What a blast though!
