From the Sandbox to the Clouds - Paperback

by Robert L. McDaniel (Author)

Bob McDaniel grew up hanging over the airport fence. His dream of flying began as a child in a sandbox and propelled him into the clouds. This true story chronicles his journey from a Cessna 150 to supersonic flight and back, covering military operations in war zones and peaceful flights at thirty miles per hour in a powered parachute. His civilian career is covered from his early days working as a lineboy to pay for his flying lessons, to his current position as director of one of the busiest reliever airports in the nation. This is a flying story, a war story, and a bit of a love story, as it illustrates the sacrifices required of military families. This entertaining autobiography will inspire others to dream what may seem impossible, to believe they are achievable, and to reach out and fulfill those dreams.
