Where We Land: A Pilot's Reflections at Altitude - Paperback

by Donald Osborn (Author), Anna Henkens Schmidt (Author)

Embark on a journey with Donald Osborn, a natural-born storyteller whose life unfolds like an exhilarating adventure across the globe.

Hailing from humble beginnings in western Nebraska, Osborn navigates the diverse landscapes of life, from small-town roots to the vast expanses of the world, collecting subjects and stories along the way. His career takes off from entry-level flight instructing to navigating the turbulent currents of the commercial airline industry.

Yet, Osborn's story is far from conventional. He's not just a pilot; he's a real-life character, exploring outdated safety protocols in the airlines, encounters with A-list celebrities and U.S. Presidents, and occasionally transporting human organs.

Balancing his time in the sky, Osborn engages in entrepreneurial ventures, from flipping houses to tree trimming, all while lamenting the downfalls of a bumpy career.

"Where We Land" is not just a memoir; it's a vivid journey woven with hard knocks, fortunate breaks, and a fair share of questionable decisions. Osborn's candid storytelling invites readers into a world where resilience, humor, and unyielding spirit prevails.
