Flying Can Be Fun

The A to Z of flying jargon is the subject of Flying Can Be Fun, a humorous look at the world of flight. Award-winning cartoonist Dick Locher has teamed up with award-winning humorist Michael Kilian to create the funniest illustrated dictionary of flight lingo available anywhere. A is for aerial, 'that part of the aircraft most frequently broken off during walk-around pre-flight inspection to see if anything is broken off.' C is for coordinates, 'flying clothing worn by fashionable female pilots.' G is for ground speed, 'what airspeed becomes upon landing.' I is for icing, 'what frequently happens to pilots who think that flying through winter thunderstorms is a piece of cake.' S is for spin, 'what makes the world go 'round when you're looking at it directly through a windscreen.' And W is for wilco, 'Roger's last name,' of course.
