Mac 'Serge' Tucker

What happens when you give a 20-something adrenalin-junkie the controls to a high-end combat jet then base them in the middle of nowhere? A fantastic insight into the mind of an RAAF F-18 pilot who lived to fly and partied hard with his squadron mates. From the early days of learning to fly through to being one of the elite Fighter Combat Instructors, Serge confronts his own attitudes & insecurities as well as the entrenched military bureaucracy. Finally leaving the RAAF to avoid "flying a desk," Serge discovers that airline flying is not what he's after either, an all too common result for combat pilots who just want to fly.

From start to finish this book keeps a steady, enjoyable pace as it describes the amazing situations and crazy activities Serge has experienced. Well worth reading & highly recommended.… (meer)
