You Fly Like a Woman

[John Farley]

Your book

Dear Sylvia

Thank you very much. What a super book.

There is only one thing to say - you write like a woman.

By that of course I mean that you are not constrained to write about the technicalities of flying but can include what goes on in your head. Women are good at that blokes are not!

Thank you VERY much. Congratulations.

Yours

John Farley

What with all these great comments, I thought I'd splash out and invest the 77p....looking forward to it! Thanks!

Also bought it - good read!

I don't know if I'll make Sherburn in March but I shall try!

Please note: If your email address includes a reference to eyewitness, could you PM me again please? The mail I sent you bounced and I don't remember your PPRuNe name.

I've had a few reports now that residents of the Netherlands purchasing via Amazon.com get charged an extravagant amount -- is there an exorbitant Dutch tax against e-books or something? I don't get much control - 99 US cents is the minimum price I can set and I get 35% - they then distribute it to the other Amazon shops and add VAT (hence the 77p/84p difference in the UK). The link posted shows as $1.19 to me.

I *still* have not flown into Gibraltar, which was not possible when I did my PPL (you had to file to Africa and then divert to Gibraltar if you wanted to go from Malaga!) but is now. It's on my list of dream locations ... even though it scares me witless to think of landing there with all those pedestrians about and no overrun!

I'm really quite awestruck at the comments, thank you.

It was a great read. Thank you!

Many thanks for a great read. I read it during a quiet time in the office and it was an absolute pleasure reading it. I am happy you managed to completely your dreams despite all those issues you had at the debut.

Happy landings and smooth sailing at every airport your aircraft is taking you.

Sylvia,
Very enjoyable read, thanks for the copy. Plans for any more?

[fernytickles]

Sylvia,

I sent a link to this thread to some friends who are both pilots & on staff at EAA. They have been signing up for your book on kindle. Did you know there is an "author's corner" at AirVenture?

[ChampChump]

Read it, then splashed out my 77pence to keep it.

I am trying to get my non-flying sister to read it, too.

Very many thanks for a well-written, honest read.

Sylvia,

I enjoyed your book, thank you very much;

now, can you tell me were I can paypal you the 99c$/cE
that you deserve without question?

and while we're at it, aware of your next "navigation around
europe" work, tell me/us the price for that, so I can do a
single paypal and just wait your pdf in the email



thanks again
ciao

Thank you

Hello Sylvia,
Just wanted to say in "public" that just read your book and its absolutely FANTASTIC! There were many times in your training that ring a few bells with me - especially your PFL training experience as I am going through that at the moment and have some of the same thoughts...

Many congrats
Happy Landings! GQ

I earn enough to afford to pay you 77 pennies. But, can I buy it for the iPad somewhere? I'm not a Kindle owner.

[Piper.Classique]

Adam, you can get an app to read kindle format on the ipad or on a pc (free)

Sylvia, I just got finished reading your book.... non-stop! Very entertaining! I could so relate. When I first started to learn to fly in 1983, I also felt "anti-female in the cockpit" attitudes and heard all the jokes (if God meant for women to fly, the sky would be pink; it's called "cockpit" for a reason, etc. )

It was interesting to read that you are German-American, I am as well, just the other way around. I grew up in San Diego, but I've been living in Germany now for 40 yrs!

it's called "cockpit" for a reason,

I believe an all female flight deck is now known as the box office

Bought it, read it, loved it! Best 77p I've spent for ages. When's the next one out?

[Denti]

Tried to buy it on the linked uk site, couldn't as my kindle is registered in the us (although i live in germany). Was easy enough to buy it there. Great read, thanks for sharing your experience. I'm really looking forward to the next one.

[akaSylvia]

It's a gift! Some of you are making this very difficult.

I would *love* to go to AirVenture, I've never been.

Honestly, if you enjoyed the book the best thing you can do for me is tell a friend (well, or buy me a ticket to Oshkosh ).

It's really wonderfully exciting to see you all enjoying what I wrote. It's already totally been worth it.

[Sallyann1234]

I really enjoyed reading it Sylvia. Would have paid more than 77p that's for sure!
Looking forward to Volume 2...

[Dave Gittins]

I'd love to read it but Amazon only does Kindle versions and I need ePub for my Sony Reader. Seems overly mean to ask for a free version from somebody I don't know .. when I can easily afford to pay .... any ideas where I can buy it for Sony ?
