   First off, another hearty kudos and THANK YOU to Patricia, Kelvin, Karim and Swayne, our stellar group of NextGen pilots who blogged last month during our Fledgling Flyer February extravaganza!

Say, who is that good-looking fella? Well, it sure as hell ain’t the Author!

   Entitled,     You’re the Captain: Medical Emergency! I put YOU in the driver’s seat of my A320 during a real-life passenger medical diversion!

   But please, STOP gushing about how good looking I am in my About the Author photo—it’s actually my trusty FO Big Yo, reading my novel, The Last Bush Pilots!

Yep, an instant classic—get your copy of Airways today, and perhaps one day, you can sell it for nearly $1 million, like the famous “Inverted Jenny” stamp of yore!
