STOOFDRIVER:  FLYING THE GRUMMAN S2 TRACKER:

BOOK covers pg 5Captain Mike used to be a full-fledged real life Naval Aviator flying the Grumman S2 Tracker. The rugged twin-engined piston powered airplane was affectionately known as the "STOOF". While he was spending his youth and flying the S2, he took lots of pictures. Now that time has turned his experiences into distance memories, he wants to share the USS Hornet Pacific cruise of 1965. The "STOOF DRIVER" book is crammed with his really fantastic collection of 35mm photographs and personal experiences and impressions. With over 500 individual pictures, the hardcover 8" X 10" full color 200 page document would make a treasured memory for anyone who has ever served in the US Navy, particularly if it was on-board an aircraft carrier.

THEN & NOW: CARTOONS ABOUT AIRLINE PILOTS:BOOK covers pg 7

There is probably nothing that professional pilots love more than a good laugh ... well ... maybe a paper cup half full of cold coffee.Anyway, join in the fun as we meet some of the zany flight crews that naively show their humorous side. "Then & Now: Cartoons about Airline Pilots" is an eclectic collection of funny situations that the guys and gals who populate the cockpits and airplane cabins will share with you and your kids in this great book of good, clean fun. Makes a great gift for any airplane fanatic that you might know ... or even those that you don't know.

COCKPIT POSTERS:

SPASH page 02Part of the "TRAINING TOOLSET" is a visual representation of the cockpit ... with each of the component parts clearly identified and accurately placed. There is no way for a pilot to learn where everything is located without either a "cockpit" or a cockpit poster representation. Check out these at the ZAZZLE POSTER store where you can get Captain Mike's cockpit poster set. There are four sets: 737NG, A320, 777, 747-400.
