Unfriendly Skies
I picked up a 1989 book in our local swap shop called "Unfriendly Skies" by
Captain "X" and Reynolds Dodson. It's an "as told to" about the deregulated airline industry and a pretty good read. It sounds like not much has changed in the last 10 years except the airlines are losing even more money. Some good almost crashing stories by the Captain. Boy, does this guy hate AOPA and little airplanes! He makes a big deal about the then recent fight over the creation of Class B and C airspace and how AOPA fought the transponder requirement. I'm a little shocked to hear this. I like crossing that invisible magenta line and knowing the everyone I meet for the next few miles will probably have one and be talking. Has anybody else read this book? -- Roger Long |
