Thanks for the upload Brian and hope you and your dad are well! I’m a 42yo from the Boston area, with my private license and instrumented rated as well, and have been an av-geek as long as I can remember! Not only did I read your dads book during my training in the early 00’s, but more importantly your dads work in aviation documentaries in addition to his books and magazine entries were a source of comfort for me during my teen years as my mom fought and succumbed to breast cancer. Your dad along with other aviation authors/pilots such as John Nance gave me a needed distraction during those troubling times when I had time to come up for air. Sorry for the long comment but just wanted to wish you all well and say how grateful you and your dads work has been for the aviation community as a whole!

I want to let you know how very much I appreciate your comments. It's nice to know that our efforts have been so helpful to you. Thank you. Barry Schiff

I am truly honored to be the 1st person to comment on this great video by Barry. I have to say that anytime I see either Barry or Brian's name on anything I jump at the chance to see what it is about. Both of them are so knowledgeable and articulate in the way they present things that it is absolutely mesmerizing to soak up their presentations. Thank you Barry for creating this wonderful book! I do have one question about the book: Where can I get it!

Follow-up: I noticed there are several different places to purchase your Dad's book. Does he have a preferred place for me to buy one? One that doesn't rip him off with extra fees for offering it for sale.

Thank you so much for your kind words. For anyone else reading this -- I did not pay Fred to say this. ;-) Also - I don't think it matters from where you purchase the book--only how many you purchase. 🙂

Did Barry just admit he never returned the library book? 6:21 - 6:25

He did. He cannot tell a lie. He owes the library 72 years' worth of overdue fines. ;-)

@@TheProficientPilot Surely there must be forgiveness somewhere for this transgression. Barry Schiff is a legend, and a great inspiration to all of us who fly, and it is a great gift to all of us that he is still with us, and in great wit and spirit.
