In his 20+ years in the Albany, New York, area, Swain logged over 4,000 hours in single-engine aircraft and taught more than 100 people the joys of flying. In this memoir of his aviation career he relives many of his flying adventures. His own personal experiences include his introduction to flight at age 12, chasing an eagle into northwestern Ontario, his flight to the Bahamas on his honeymoon, landing at Laguardia just ahead of a Boeing 747, and his almost fatal crash on top of a Massachusetts mountain. His flight instructor tales include the student who quit lessons after his solo flight under threat of divorce, the pilot who did a back flip off the plane's wing after completing his solo, and the student who returned later to thank Swain for his life-saving lesson on fuel systems.

Who Truly Loves the Sky: life lessons from the cockpit is an inspirational memoir and a testament to one man's love of flying and his passion for sharing that love with others.
