This book brings to life places, persons and stories describing the authorÕs foray into aviation, an adventure spanning the better part of three decades.

Michel ParŽÕs active career as a professional pilot came at a time when early-generation passenger jets were closing in on their final curtain call. Following rapid airline expansion and a similar promotion path, he remembers all too well 9/11 and a subsequent job loss that is not atypical from the journeyman, roller-coaster type of career one often experiences in commercial aviation.

In between, he relates the intimate and riveting story of a flight that is sure to keep you glued to your seat.

His many years spent working for the Canadian aviation regulator will highlight how commercial aviation and all facets of aviation are subject to a far-reaching regulatory framework and a comprehensive oversight program. It is in this capacity that some of the stories in this book take flight.

Through the keen eye of an aviator and the authorÕs ability to put to paper a precise and detailed record of events, this collection of stories will make for an interesting read that will land you in a variety of placesÑsome far-flung, others off the beaten path, and many in between.

And at times, it will put you right in the pilot seat.

To close out the book, a complete change of pace involving a different navigation medium. The very definition of slow travel.
