Pilot Quest

<p>Aspiring to become a pilot Lindsey finds this life goal is not so easily accomplished. Compounding the usually expected obstacles of financing the in-flight education and training comes to the reality that none of this would be approved by her husband and thus must be kept a secret.</p><p><br></p><p>Keeping secrets is never easy especially not for Lindsey who had to balance the demands of a highly stressful nursing administrative position with childcare arrangements for 4 children and airplane rentals which led to a dwindling bank account. While these were foreseeable obstacles that could ultimately be managed a few other situations surfaced that could not have been anticipated.</p><p><br></p><p>Situations like: amorous overtures from half the flight instructors (who happen to be a very sexy lot); getting lost at altitude with little gas left in the wing tanks while flying a 500-mile solo; horrified seeing blood spurting from the shoulder wound of a flight mechanic who got too close to a slicing propeller; aborted permission-to-land transmissions from ground control as Lindsey was on final approach 200 feet above the runway; and auto-rotating a helicopter down to a crash landing in a thick forest then deserted by the new flight instructor who bit off more than he could chew with Lindsey!</p><p>Readers can get a realistic glimpse of how to fly by reading this book.</p>
