That is such a wonderful story that I am going to get the Kindle version of their book to read.

Yes it is . There is a LOT about 9/11 from an aviation perspective that the public doesn't know.

I ordered my copy from B&N Nook. It won't be available until Dec 31. The incident happened four days before Christmas, which explains the timing of release. Looking forward to reading it. Ron
