Description

Almost fifty years of reinventing himself as a pilot is unfolded in this descriptive and adventurous book from experienced airman Robert Fulton. Each chapter relays several true stories revolving around the author's experiences in a specific category of flight, including helicopter logging, combat, Arctic bush, DC-9 major airline, EMS helicopter, and more. He shares valuable life lessons on taking action and facing difficult, almost impossible situations that must be overcome. These lessons all translate into the elements we must all face as humans, no matter our role in the world.

Author Bio

Robert is an award-winning speaker and storyteller. He has written a successful movie script, which is currently placed with a major studio for production. Beginning in Vietnam where he flew over 300 combat missions, he has continuously operated as a commercial pilot for almost fifty years. His book relays his adventures in different categories of flight as an Arctic pilot, an EMS helicopter pilot, a major airline pilot, and a Vietnam Cobra gunship pilot. His numerous missions demonstrated his ability to reinvent himself continuously. During his long career in the air, Robert helped raise five children who moved with him many times as he repositioned himself for the next ideal flying job. At one point, they headed three hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle with all their belongings stowed beneath them in the belly of a Boeing 737. He is an avid reader and model builder. Robert and his wife, Debra, live in southwest Florida, where he can often be found cruising his sailboat in and around the 10,000 islands on the West Coast in an ongoing quest for adventure.
