This is a must-read for anyone who is or was a flight instructor. It’s an easy read and at times had me laughing so hard I almost cried. Some of the stories were almost too relatable!

This was fun but a bit over the top unbelievable frequently. I'm a private instrument rate holder and and a native Floridian, who flown the major part in Florida, so have a bit of experience on the lesson end and the Florida nut balls. I am not one, at least not in the air. I think part of this fun was more the Florida characters, which are being taken over but still exist. It was less the CFI aspect. Even the author points out that the old Toyota they drove, held together with paperclips and rubber bands, OK it was some other products but close enough, it wasn't the most dangerous car on the road. It is the Florida characters. Read a few [a:Carl Hiaasen|8178|Carl Hiaasen|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1522420456p2/8178.jpg] novels and you get the feel. What is most interesting is knowing that this IS where our pilots come from if not from the military. Yes, most in the airlines are still from military but we are going to be short soon and these CFIs, that then become cargo and regional, are going to be there next airline captains. Hey, if you can survive George, you are doing pretty damn good. Survival training from hell.
