This has to be the funniest book I've read on learning to fly - Ever. What Happens when you take a Texan who has worked as an animator for Disney for much of his life, then stick him into a new country (NZ) half way around the world, then try to teach him to fly? Not only do they drive on the wrong side of the road in NZ, but they fly upside down (relative to the northern hemisphere) when landing. Only the fertile mind of an artist/cartoonist could view the stressful antics of learning to fly in such a hilarious yet subtle way. Anyone who remembers the pressures and pride of learning to fly will relate to this step-by-step rendition of flight instruction in beautiful Auckland, New Zealand! So much is the same, and yet, as you will find out, so much is not. Winds around a high are anti-clockwise, Can side-slipping make you go blind? Petrol is Gasoline, Papatoetoe is a place not anatomy The suns still sets in the west, but it travels through the Ozone hole to the North. More info on: www.orbitalworldwide.com/ewing/
