    About this ebook

    Greg and I met over twenty years ago and discovered we shared a mutual love for flying and for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Being very close in seniority, we have never had the pleasure of flying together, but I have flown with many of his co-pilots, and they all share the same opinion as I do: Captain Johnston is the real deal! If you would like a glimpse into the world of commercial aviation and an excellent source of encouragement, then this book is for you.
    Captain Dan Mack (American Airlines)


    Captain Greg Johnston combines his thirty-plus of years of experience on the flight deck to form this book of encouragement. Although the flight scenarios he shares apply to aviation, the biblical principles they illustrate will also apply, in a unique way, to daily life. This is a very good read for anyone, not just the aviation enthusiast alone.
    First Officer Ann Smith (American Airlines)

    Captain Greg Johnston

    Captain Greg Johnston flies the Airbus A-321 for American Airlines. He resides in Pascagoula, Mississippi with his wife, Beth. Greg began flying in October, 1973 at the age of 16. He began instructing student pilots while in College at the University of Mississippi. After obtaining his degree, he moved to Montgomery, Alabama where he began his career working up the ranks as a flight instructor, charter pilot, and corporate pilot. Finally, in May of 1986, he was hired by USAir and began flying as a first officer on the DC-9. In 1988 Greg flew a trip with a captain who shared his faith and stirred his interest. It was after that trip that he began seeking God, and while reading Johns gospel, received Christ as his personal Savior.
