    Shameless Self Promotion - My New Book (a nice holiday gift)

    You Can Fly Now: Your Keys to a Sky Full of Opportunity has been published. The book takes a fresh look at learning to fly through the lens of the sport pilot rules. Each chapter presents a new opportunity for those interested in getting into flying. These opportunities include earning the sport pilot certificate without going into debt, becoming a light sport repairman, transitioning to other categories and affordable aircraft ownership. The book can be purchased on Amazon or through youcanflynow.com. Col. Joe Kittinger was nice enough to write the Foreword.

    My intent is to try to stimulate some interest in the field. Marketing is being concentrated in non-flying publications. Please spread the word as this makes a pretty nice gift for non pilots.

    For every copy sold, $1 will be donated to the EAA.

    Thanks,

    John, Would you consider being a guest speaker at EAA Chapter 187 meeting sometime?

    This book was recently featured on iFlyblog.com about a week or so ago. Brent reviewed the book, check it out here,

    This book seems to be getting around the aviation community, it is a great read and I would recommend it to anyone just getting into flying, to the flying "pro". It makes a great addition to your collection of books

    John,

    You've forgotten a basic fact. We're pilots. "Shameless Self Promotion" is what we do!!! One of my wifes friends asked me why I liked to fly-my wife answered before I could-"he doesn't like to fly, he likes to show off.". To which I responded "yah, you noticed didn't ya'". Seriously though, I'll pick up a copy of your book for my son. I see you're in Georgetown. Beautiful place. I'm in Livingston and I have a cousin in Georgetown. I'll have to load my wife in the Junior Ace and make a trip when it warms up a bit!

    Hi Pacer,

    Thanks, yes I guess shameless is on our nature! I have to admit that it is fun to have people gather around my Ercoupe when I visit different airports.

    Come over to Georgetown or I can come to you.

    All the best,
    John

    I think I'll fly out your way some weekend. I need to "go somewhere"-other than my usual 15 minute flights around the patch. Besides, I probably ought to visit my family. I have to agree with you about the fun of people admiring our planes.
