 | The ultimate pilot gift for when you can't be in the air... Jan 16, 2009 |
Piloting is by nature a game of trivia - half the fun is mastering the nuances of many unrelated topics and integrating them for decision-making. Weather, aircraft systems, navigation, regulations, communications, and the physics of flight - each has its own comprehensive lexicon to be learned and understood.
Whether absorbing this painstakingly acquired vocabulary through hard knocks or dull textbooks, pilots at every level from fledgling to airline captain soon learn pleasure in joyfully challenging others with the details. It's a special game between aviators that few outsiders are privileged to understand.
In "101 Crosswords for Pilots", author Michael Shurtz raises our pilot trivia compulsion to the next level, by organizing it into a compelling collection of crossword puzzles that will challenge and entertain aviation enthusiasts of all descriptions. Not only will readers have great fun conquering these challenging puzzles, but there can hardly be a more creative and enjoyable way to master aviation lingo in the process. The author has done his audience an immense service by providing references for his crossword questions so interested readers can look up unknown terms in context and learn what they mean and where they originated.
Whether received as a gift or carried as a salve for long days waiting at the airport for tardy passengers and passing thunderstorms, "101 Crosswords for Pilots" will deliver you many hours of entertainment and pleasure. Not only will you enjoy yourself, but along the way you'll undoubtedly learn some useful facts - both for the cockpit and for one-upping your fellow practitioners of flight next time you go hangar flying. So sharpen your pencil, top off your coffee, and dig in!
