SynopsisJames Powell's earliest memories are of airplanes. His imagination was fueled by gasoline-powered models; balsa-wood gliders; and stories of military aircraft. Amazing, though, James never believed he would have the opportunity to fly in an airplane. While stumbling through school unsure of a career, James took a dollar ride in a Cessna 150. After a thirty-minute flight, he had an epiphany. As they taxied in, James's heart and mind were still in the air. Eureka! I've found it, he said to himself. This is what I want to do. I am going to fly airplanes. Powell's path from that day forward was straight and narrow: he joined the military and successfully graduated from the Air Force's pilot training class at Columbus Air Force Base in Mississippi. But that was just the first step in what became a career as a professional aviator. In this moving memoir of hard work and dogged determination, Powell recounts the rocky road he traveled on his way to becoming a commercial pilot. Despite the diversion of a teenage marriage and divorce, and friends' ridicule, James's determination never wavered.
