Other articles examine circumstances leading to emergencies such as night disorientation, neglecting to pay attention to details, or deferring to a more senior pilot.</p><p>Part II invites the reader to pull up a chair and be a part of some "hangar flying." Many of the subjects in Part II receive little or no coverage in the wider aviation media. How does a GA pilot cope with fear? Contend with ethical challenges? Know when it is time to stop flying?</p><p>Laughing with the Wind is about a passion for flying - flying safely and flying well.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Dean's perspective as a general aviation pilot and writer is unique.
