Robin Smith has logged over 8,000 hours in his aviation career, flying virtually every type of aircraft. He is a certified check airman in five different types of private jets, and holds an aviation mechanic's certificate. Like many other pilots, Robin occasionally ferries aircraft throughout the Western Hemisphere. A PAID VACATION - Every Pilot's Dream is the true story of one ferrying assignment from Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos, to El Paso, Texas that turned out to be a living nightmare. Robin's harrowing experience in an old 680 Turbo Commander will keep the reader (especially pilots) on the edges of their seats. Only with the vast experience of solving in-flight problems, coupled with an incredible ingenuity and lots of luck, Robin gets the old 680 home, safe and sound. Several private pilots who have read this true-life account have commented that few pilots could have managed to have ferried November 5723 Tango back safely. Robin did, and lived to tell about it. The author operates a full service flight operation in Clermont, Florida, and lives with his wife and best friend, J.J. Smith. The author can be contacted at Jcontrail@aol.com
