"Aspiring Pilots" according to H. Rothenberg. Very interesting. Ideally a good grounding for aspiring commercial Pilots.. Not bad It was ok. I liked the stories mostly, but you all seem like the guys in QF who will not say hello to me at the sim centre no matter how many times i try (in fact its a game to all of us - be as friendly as we can to see who will actually respond with a hello)Anyway this is about the book, and yes i enjoyed the stories and photos above all. The 707 would have been so much fun.. Up, up and Away. Chris Robertson I enjoyed reading this book, as I was employed as a Cabin Attendant with Qantas for 34 yrs and spent many hours on the Flight Deck, enjoying the company of the crew, and also learning a lot about the different aircraft we flew.
