Author Description

This book may look like a diary of flying experiences but in truth it is a love story about a man and his lifelong affair with an angel called Flight. Don Abbott's childhood and early teen years were spent on his family's farm in Southeastern Ohio. His life choices were made early. At nine, when he first sat in a Piper Cub, he knew he wanted to be a pilot. At 14, while working part time at a local radio station, he chose broadcasting as a career. Don has always been an innovator and entrepreneur, which resulted in his founding of nine businesses and the creation of several concepts and inventions along the way. Aviation has played an important part of his personal and business life. November of 2011, in recognition of 50 years of accident-free flying and his contributions to aviation safety, Don received the highest honor bestowed by the Federal Aviation Administration, The Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award.
