In a delightfully personal way, the author takes the reader through his adventures and escapades as an Air Force combat pilot who joined the select few who have flown the famous U-2 "spy plane." Colonel Saboski spent 17 years as a U-2 pilot and commander in that secretive intelligence collection program, followed by additional careers in commercial airline management and aviation education. Here he narrates aviation stories and anecdotes that lift the reader to the extreme heights of the U-2 and describes the hazards and travails awaiting those who fly at the edge of space. This portrayal of a professional aviator's 43-year, multi-faceted career reveals many twists, turns, and travels, interlaced with the ever-present dangers of high-performance flying and viewed with a subtle undercurrent of humor.
