@showme205 Everyone dies, not everyone lives. Godspeed to your uncle, and God bless those he took with him.

Virginia 1955.
My father (center) had taken us flying in his Stinson. After we were up awhile, I suddenly burst into tears. My terrified grandfather looked at my dad and asked anxiously, "Why's he crying?"
My dad shrugged and said, "He knows we're landing."

@Triphammer111 Sorry to disappoint. How did it fail?

[SWBorgess @FLY4crkd]

MIAMI 1978. A shady airline. A profane crew. A sacred mission.

FLYING CROOKED is for those who remember when airplanes had soul. Gritty. Suspenseful. A true to life tale of risk, redemption, and the last wild skies in airline flying.

A fabulous BEACH READ!

@Zok561Zok56 Sure. But in what context?

Fortunately, the machine was quickly restrained.
