Overview

Kerry McCauley has the job most pilots can only dream of: delivering small, used aircraft to exotic locations around the world. In his 30 years as an international ferry pilot, Kerry has delivered almost every kind of airplane you can name to almost every location you can think of. In his long career Kerry battled fuel system malfunctions over the Atlantic, a total electrical failure at night over the Sahara, got lost over Africa and was struck by lightning off the coast of Portugal. Kerry's almost insatiable reckless quest for danger and adventure also led to putting international smuggler and bank robber on his resume. Kerry found the answer to the question "What could possibly go wrong?" time and time again. But his skill, ingenuity and luck were what allowed him to survive the countless mishaps, catastrophes, close calls and a nearly fatal plane crash.While "Ferry Pilot" is an account of one man's crazy thirst for thrills and adventure, it's also a portrait of a brave and devoted family man who lost many close friends and his first wife to the dangerous skies. It's also the story of a man coming to grips with the dangerous nature of his career and just how deep his luck bag is.
