About “Dizzying Questions” and “Various Curiosities”
A veteran pilot with 30 years of experience tells us
An exciting and detailed world of airplanes!
When I drag my suitcase towards Incheon Airport with a fluttering heart, endorphins surge through my body.
But when I actually check in and sit by the window in the departure hall watching the planes take off and land, I am suddenly overcome with dramatic fear, anxiety, and extreme terror.
"What if the plane suddenly breaks down in the middle of the Pacific?" "What if the pilot and copilot both lose consciousness and collapse from a heart attack or a terrestrial disaster? Could an ordinary person actually land the plane?" "What if the plane's engines suddenly fail?" "If a hole pokes through the plane, will everything really be sucked out?" and so on.
Every time that happens, we say, 'No, that's not happening.
He tries to calm his anxious mind by saying, 'I've watched too many movies.'
But there are many times when it doesn't go away easily, and this situation repeats itself every time I board a plane.
In this book, veteran captain Shin Ji-su, with 30 years of experience and a whopping 12,000 flight hours, provides kind, detailed, and yet very interesting answers to these anxieties and curiosities.
It not only details the dizzying questions that come up every time you board a plane, but also perfectly reasonable curiosities you might have about airplanes, as well as the trivial yet somehow curious daily lives and world of flight attendants.
As I read the second book by Captain Shin Ji-soo, who already proved himself to be a natural writer through his first book, “My Beautiful Flight,” I felt as if I were the captain, sitting in the cockpit, piloting the plane. His writing is so detailed and vivid that it feels like I am reading it.
The photos and illustrations of the airplane's unique instrument panels, various pedals, and various devices, which you have never seen or heard explained before, add to the enjoyment of reading the book.
This book will undoubtedly become a favorite of aviation enthusiasts, and for those who fear flying, it will be a solid resource to turn to when anxiety strikes.
From now on, let's take this book with us to read on the plane when we travel.
Reading it on an airplane will make it more realistic and heart-pounding.
And as you read, you will find that your anxious mind has calmed down.
By the way, many readers skip the epilogue when reading a book, but I strongly advise against doing so in this book.
Be sure to read the “Top 10 Most Beautiful Sights Seen from the Cockpit” selected by the author, a veteran pilot who has been flying around the world for nearly 30 years.
It will provide you with another kind of fun and excitement.
