For readers of my book, Flying Carpet: The Soul of an Airplane, I thought you might enjoy seeing some of the book photos at larger size and in color, along with additional story images like the ones at left. See Flying Carpet book photos at my Facebook page. (You needn’t be a Facebook member to view the photos.)
Above: Imagine flying a plane without its rudder and vertical stabilizer! An instructor with a student pilot successfully landed this Cessna 172 following a midair traffic-pattern collision. Read the incredible story in Flying Carpet: The Soul of an Airplane. (These photos surfaced after the book’s publication.) More photos to come! ©2009 Gregory N. Brown
