About Skyfaring:
For many, flying has become an ordinary part of life and is often associated with frustration (delays, lost luggage, cancellations). Told from the unique perspective of a British Airways Boeing 747 pilot, Skyfaring takes you on a journey from takeoff to landing and reminds us to appreciate the beauty of flight. Skyfaring asks us to reimagine what we – both as pilots and as passengers – are actually doing when we enter the world between departure and discovery. This book is a perfect fusion of science, geography, physics, and wonder and will leave you requesting a window seat on your next flight.
