A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Hear from the cockpit of a Pan Am Boeing 747 what really goes on behind the scenes: the banter, the problem passengers, the celebrities, the scary moments. Take a flight with Captain Bill Travis. From Tennessee farm boy to high school dropout working in the Detroit car factories, to professional pilot and captain for Pan Am. This is not a story of how one man got lucky and achieved his dream; Bill had a method, and in this book he shares it with the reader, alongside the fascinating story of his life. Through positive thinking, visualization, goal setting, and sheer hard work, Bill literally aimed for the skies, and as a result spent 35 years flying all over the world with the world’s most glamorous airline. Bill said you can equate your subconscious mind to an airliners’ “Flight Management System”. That is the navigation system where the pilot inputs the destination, and the FMS guides the airplane on the path to the destination. Your subconscious mind works in the same manner. You just have to program it properly. Captain Bill shares the secrets of his success; a success that continues to this day. Not a man to slow down, Bill followed up his piloting with a career as a professional musician, running his own 17-piece dance orchestra in San Francisco, then founded his own real estate brokerage company, Captain Bill Realty, in Gilbert AZ. His next goal is to compete in a bodybuilding Physique Division contest in 2014, at the age of 80. Then he plans to become a Motivational Speaker to help others become more productive and achieve their dreams. You can achieve your goals too. As Captain Bill explains, “You must keep “Aiming High.”

Biographie de l'auteur

Captain Bill Travis was born on a farm in Tennessee. His parents migrated to Detroit to work in the auto factories, and Bill dropped out of school in the 10th grade to work in those factories. After two years he decided to quit the factories and set a goal of getting a white collar job and earn $10,000 per year. A few years later he had realized those goals. He flew for Zantop Air Transport for seven years, and Pan Am for 28 years. After retiring he started his own 17 piece swing band in San Francisco. When he relocated to Phoenix, he sold the band, and started his own real estate brokerage, which he operates today. His next book, targeted for July 2014 completion is on health and fitness. He is training to compete in a bodybuilding contest in July 2014, at the age of 80.
