Publisher's Synopsis
A fighter pilot is a military aviator trained to engage in air-to-air combat, air-to-ground combat, and sometimes electronic warfare while in the cockpit of a fighter aircraft. Fighter pilots undergo specialized training in aerial warfare and dogfighting (close-range aerial combat). A fighter pilot with at least five air-to-air kills becomes known as an ace.
In this book, the author takes the readers with him in the cockpit as he shares the fulfillment of his boyhood dream and some of his most memorable adventures and misadventures during a twenty-four-year flying career as a fighter pilot, both in combat and peacetime. Share the author's emotions when being surrounded by enemy anti-aircraft flak, when having to crash land twice, during occasions when the aircraft's response was violent and uncontrollable when having a large turkey buzzard crash through the windscreen into the cockpit when the aircraft was 200 feet off the ground and traveling nearly 600 mph, just to mention a few of those memorable occasions the author shares.
