Synopsis:
What could possibly go wrong? A LOT, if you spend 30 years flying small airplanes over the North Atlantic!
Join Kerry McCauley in the cockpit as he battles a fuel system malfunction over the Atlantic, a total electrical failure at night over the Sahara, being struck by lightning off the coast of Portugal and losing his engine in a thunderstorm. As an international ferry pilot Kerry’s almost insatiable, reckless quest for danger and adventure also led Kerry to put international smuggler and bank robber on his resume. Kerry’s skill, ingenuity and a heavy dose of luck were what allowed him to survive the countless mishaps, catastrophes and a nearly fatal plane crash. A true tail of adventure and courage, this harrowing account will have you on the edge of your seat wondering how Kerry is still alive. Ferry Pilot is destined to be a true aviation classic.
About the Author: Kerry McCauley's life of adventure started out in the Minnesota National Guard as a UH-1H "Huey" crew chief and winter survival instructor. His taste for aviation led him to be an international ferry pilot, professional skydiver and corporate jet pilot. As a ferry pilot he delivered planes to 60 countries, crossing three oceans and six continents. He's flown about 50 different types of aircraft, has 9000 hours of flight time and 20,000 skydives. Kerry is an engaging and entertaining speaker, whose retelling of his adventures as a ferry pilot and his starring role in two seasons of the Discovery Channel's series Dangerous Flights puts people on the edge of their seats. Kerry lives in Wisconsin with his wife Cathy where they own and operate a skydiving school along with their children, Claire and Connor.
