A poetic and nuanced exploration of the human experience of flight that reminds us of the full imaginative weight of our most ordinary journeys—and reawakens our capacity to be amazed. The twenty-first century has relegated airplane flight—a once remarkable feat of human ingenuity—to the realm of the mundane. Mark Vanhoenacker, a 747 pilot who left academia and a career in the business world to pursue his childhood dream of flight, asks us to reimagine what we—both as pilots and as passengers—are actually doing when we enter the world between departure and discovery. In a seamless fusion of history, politics, geography, meteorology, ecology, family, and physics, Vanhoenacker vaults across geographical and cultural boundaries; above mountains, oceans, and deserts; through snow, wind, and rain, renewing a simultaneously humbling and almost superhuman activity that affords us unparalleled perspectives on the planet we inhabit and the communities we form.

Captain Enrique (Henry) Horta was born the third child of the Horta Family in Ventura California. He lived in various places such as, Los Angeles, San Diego, Mexico, Germany, Mauritius, New Zealand, Japan and Jordan. While spending some of his teen years in Mexico he learned about survival and the importance of appreciating and doing the best of what resources he had. When he returned to California he was a skinny kid with dreams and plans to be a Pilot, traveler and adventurer. His wild dreams of becoming an Astronaut and going to the moon where replaced by more realistic dreams such as wanting to become an Airline Pilot. When he turned 18 years old he parted from his parents and had to join the working rat race starting out as a bag-boy at a local Safeway store. His plans to finish College were halted by his traveling bug so he took a break from school, sold his motorcycle, and went back-packing to Europe with only $1,000 Dollars in his pocket, a Euro-Pass train Ticket for a month, and a return airplane ticket home. Unexpected fatherhood in Germany at a young age made him become more responsible and serious about his dreams. When he returned to California he was now a young family man while working as a carpenter in construction and attending evening University and Flight School on weekends. His positive thinking methods, scholarships, grants, and student loans paid off and he graduated with an Airway Science Degree in addition to all his Pilot ratings and Certificates. Thereafter, his life became more of an adventure and he travelled around the world working for various Airlines as a Contract Pilot.

...PILOT BUSTED! Recent TV and Newspaper headlines have brought to the public's attention yet another issue affecting the safety of our Nation's Airline Industry...the latest growing issue since Terrorism...BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVELS OF PILOTS! BOTTLE TO THROTTLE is the "first of its kind" sizzling and true account by Captain Rob...a seasoned Commercial Airline Pilot...and also a seasoned Drinker...(his book is presently under consideration as a screenplay). "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking"..."It would be my last flight shamefully, from captain Rob to Captain Drunk." Minutes later he was blowing into a Breathalyzer...and also blowing twenty-six years of flying! Yesterday he had been on the brink. He takes you on an incredible journey to his past with the hope of sorting out how it had led to today's "LIVING NIGHTMARE"! Written with humor and compassion, covering sensitive issues of today that began long ago...his life begins as a kid growing up in the BRONX! The "seeds were sown" by an "Army of Drunks" on both sides of the family! Had his path to drinking begun at age seven with a sip of beer on Thanksgiving Day or perhaps with the "whiskey-dripping" cherries? Had his Catholic school nuns and priests given him and other kids good reason to drink? "It never dawned on me that this MAN OF GOD actually enjoyed beatings, especially at swimming practice...we in our skintight Speedos." Was he later charged as a pedophile? The Captain's life continues to lead you through numerous escapades of grade school beer, high school booze, more booze at college, the drinking man's Navy, Europe's bars, South American bars, the alcohol vending machines of Asia, plus more, more, more of everything in California...then later his drinking career comes to an abrupt halt in "SIN-CITY" Las Vegas, Nevada! The Author recently went through a rehabilitation program for his alcohol addiction and shares this positive turning point in his life with readers! He's the son of a New York City Fireman, a graduate of Fordham University, a former Naval Officer, and Senior Captain and Instructor. BOTTLE TO THROTTLE serves as a reminder to his fellow Pilots of their great responsibility regarding the lives entrusted to them. It is also about Alcohol and the question...when does it become a problem? ...Statistics prove that 99% of all American households have at least one TV and that the public's demand for media truth escalated during the Clinton years and rose even higher with the events of September 11, 2001. While Rob's book may be particularly newsworthy on several subjects, his audience is not limited. His unique style of writing plus one continuous adventure after another result in a book that readers will not want to put down...regardless of profession, age, or gender

"This is the captain speaking..." You've heard the announcements, but have you ever wondered what's really going on "up there?" You can't visit the pilots during flight, but now you can get the inside scoop. Join an experienced Airbus flight crew as they face a typical day's work. From the hectic pace of irregular operations, turbulence, and quick turn-arounds, to landing in marginal weather with minimal fuel, this detailed description of a line pilot's job places you in the heart of the action. Captain Grant Corriveau (Uplift - A Pilot's Journey) once again takes you behind that locked door to see what real airline pilots are up to while you're invited to "sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight." Really? After thirty years of airline flying the captain has gained a few insights and formed some strong opinions. Now, he's happy to share... "Fuel gives us time and options. But now fuel is costly, and companies dole it out by the teaspoonful. They dispatch us with minimal fuel reserves based on the reliability claims of weather forecasts. I wonder if meteorology departments ever overstate the validity of their predictions, to justify the multi-millions spent on technical equipment and super computers. Or is this just another example of my old pilot skepticism morphing into cynicism?" Corriveau shares intimate details with typical humor and candor... "An old aviation maxim says: "We don't fly until the weight of the paper equals the weight of the pilot." And, just like my waistline, the paperwork has increased over the years. ... once on board, the datalink will start spitting out paper like... well, like it grows on trees. First Officer Paula hoists about an elm-and-a-half off of the counter, and we make our way back over to the luggage rack." ... "I hear the sounds of galley doors and storage units slamming shut behind me. I glimpse someone in the jetway swinging the main cabin door closed. It must be time to go." Here's your boarding pass, now hurry! Don't miss this golden opportunity to sit in the flight deck, and view the job of an airline pilot from the inside out.

Reg Adkins was born in Perth, Western Australia in 1926, went to Inglewood State School and after three years at Guildford Grammar School completed his education at the age of 16. From the time he was 11 years old his ambition was to be a pilot. Joining the RAAF in October 1944 he was too late for pilot training but spent four and a half years as an Armourer in the service he loved. Learning to fly at the Royal Aero Club of W.A. at Maylands Aerodrome in 1948 was the first step up the ladder towards achieving his ambition. Following an instructor rating and employment at the club for eighteen months he was well on his way when he stepped out of a Tiger Moth into a DC-3 to become one of the first post-war Aero Club trained pilots to be accepted into the airlines. In 1955 he joined MacRobertson Miller Airlines. After a career spanning 33 years, flying DC-3s, F.27s and F.28s all over W.A. and the Northern Territory and amassing a total of 21,000 hours he retired in 1986 at the top of the ladder as Senior Captain. To use his own words, “How could anyone have been so lucky?” I Flew For MMA is a rollicking story covering the massive change in Western Australia’s aviation history, from the days of post-World War Two flying unpressurised piston-engined DC-3s with virtually no navigation aids and the most basic of equipment and accommodation to the introduction of the comfortable and fast F.27 turboprop, then to the magical jet era and the state of the art F.28. Reg and his colleagues really were the trail-blazers of post-war flying up to the modern age. But I Flew For MMA is more than just a terrific historical record of flying in W.A. and the N.T. It lays bare the highs and the lows of being an airline pilot. The personalities, the family aspects, the industrial battles, and the emotional trials and tribulations that go with being responsible for the lives of the passengers in sometimes trying and stressful conditions, all the while being mindful of the desire to “get the job done”.

I thought you might enjoy reading about the actual life of an airline pilot. In this book I explain how I prepare for a flight; what happens in the flight deck; why delays occur; and what I do when I am done flying for the day. I also share passenger behaviors that drive flight crews crazy. Enjoy the trip!
