<p><em>Flying Upside Down</em> means, literally, flying a plane upside down aerobatically. It also means turning fear upside down by engaging and controlling it rather than succumbing to it and letting it control your life. As a kid, the author wanted to fly. But a terrible accident made him deathly afraid of heights, so much so that he couldn&rsquo;t even ride in an elevator, let alone fly in a plane. Later in life, he overcame this dysfunctional mindset by turning the fear upside down and becoming a pilot.</p><p>This book relates the author&rsquo;s thrills, chills, ups and downs (literally), and his successes and screw-ups as he evolves into an experienced flyer who tests the limits of himself and his aircraft in some of the most challenging planes and situations imaginable &ndash; from flying a barely airworthy Cessna over the Pacific waters in Guam, aerobatics, parachuting, and some of the toughest mountain flying in the Colorado Rockies.</p><p>Throughout the book, there are many useful lessons the author learned through his flying adventures that are instructive for pilots and non-pilots alike in dealing with life&rsquo;s challenges, overcoming fear and building self esteem and confidence&hellip; for life!</p>
