Why read it?
1 author picked The Learjet Diaries as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The Learjet Diaries is a book that I can relate to very well, and I could see myself writing a similar book. While I have never flown Learjets, I fly corporate airplanes built by the same manufacturer, and I have had similar experiences flying jets around the world. The author describes the transition from flying small piston planes to flying fast jet aircraft very nicely. Anyone interested in flying and private jets is sure to enjoy this exciting story of a coming of age.
From Vesa's list on The best books about flying, flight training, and working as a pilot.
