It describes his career change when he moved to the marketing and demonstrating of new airplanes for manufactures. He tells of his challenges in developing a charter business with small jets and turboprops. Through his flying experiences, he has been blessed to have met and flown a number of famous celebrities, including the Dalai Lama. Each flight is a new adventure and another story.
