Plane Jane
by Robert Lloyd Fischer
What would you do if you were a highly-qualified elite Air Force pilot recently out of a job because of your political beliefs, and someone offered you
the chance to go into the repo business—that’s repossessing high end business
jets all over the world? Adrenaline junkie that you probably are, and with money that good, you might be tempted to say yes. Fictional character Mary Jane
does just that. And you can only imagine where the story goes from there.
Fischer, a Marine pilot himself, has penned a rollicking novel that will keep
you turning the pages to the end. There’s enough
authenticity to the flying scenes to keep the nit-pick-ers happy, and the spirit of the story, which delves
into the lives of women living in the Middle East, is
uplifting, too.
Don’t worry—I won’t spill the beans on the plot.
Go read it and you’ll understand why! —A.L.

From a stand-up set
the second flight to africa last
year killed my carry-on—it disintegrated, leaving me dragging
it by the broken pull-handle
through u.s. Customs. I swore
my next bag would be tougher.
at the aOpa Conference just a
week later, Jeff herold, president
and CeO of West Coast trends,
Inc., was showing off his latest
gear, a “train-reaction” luggage
set that hooks together and per-
fectly balances, for effortless
rolling through airports. It was
cool, but that’s not what sold me
on his bags. It was their workmanship,
the unusual shape (the carry-on is a little
narrower, and just a smidgen taller, so it
rolls down aircraft aisles without catch-
ing the armrests), their variety, in colors
and especially in the designs built just for
flight crews, and frankly, his warranty.
herold honors a five-year “no ques-
tions” warranty. the company will repair
any damage that occurs during the war-
ranty period, regardless of cause, so long
as you can return to them (at your cost) at
least 51 percent of your bag. If they can’t
repair it, they will replace your product.

bag selection, go to www.clubglove.
