About this listen

In Skyfaring, airline pilot and flight romantic Mark Vanhoenacker shares his irrepressible love of flying on a journey from day to night, from new ways of mapmaking and the poetry of physics to the names of winds and the nature of clouds. Here, anew, is the simple wonder and transcendent joy of motion and the remarkable new perspectives that height and distance bestow on everything we love.

I love this book so much. It is such a beautifully written book. It added so much colour to my own experiences learning to fly and made me feel as though I was in the cockpit with him flying the 747. a book I could listen to over and over.

Beautifully poetic and educational

This is a lovely written book with great descriptive prose. To me however it made no sense even after two chapters. Which is why I LOVE Audibles' return policy.

Rambling and Esoteric
