a good book
Just come back from a weeks relaxing hols in Ireland and took a book to read. Could not put it down and had me falling on the floor with laughter at times....
Its called propellerhead and although it is about flying a fixed wing microlight it had many parallels to my learning curve and early solo flying ups and downs!
Beg, steal, borrow or buy a copy for what must be the best aviation book printed recently by miles.

Any good high street book shop should sell it, I have loaned my copy to another pilot who I am sure will appreciate it and I will have to read it again when it come back!
I keep laughing thinking about it especially the bit about his mate who comes back from his qualifying cross country to convert his S.A. PPl to a UK one and infringes every bit of airspace possible, stays on the same frequency the whole flight and blissfully unaware of the chaos he causes in doing so.
you just have to read it, it is a modern classic!
Should be study materials in schools for English O level (well that may be going a bit far but its good)

I'm pretty sure I've seen in it my local bookshop, although I have to admit I borrowed the copy I've been reading and have to give it back.
