Fly for Fun: With Bill Thomas (0614132096)

by Bill Thomas, Paperback, 164 Pages, Published 1985. Pre-owned. Condition: some scuff marks on the cover but book inside is still in near mint condition.

Bill Thomas's Fly for Fun is still the classic textbook for understanding not just aerobatics but the basic mechanics of flying. A great aerobatic instructor, US Aerobatic Team member, and judge in the 1970s and '80s, Bill often said that many pilots approach flight as if it were driving and get in serious trouble when they find themselves in stalls, spins, or even flipped upside down. He taught hundreds of students to become safe, competent pilots while he worked with more experienced pilots to hone their skills for competition. Intended to accompany instruction by an aerobatic experienced CFI, Fly for Fun is written with Bill's remarkable understanding of aerobatic maneuvers along with his great patience and humor.
