Coolstone Takes Flight

Stories from a US Air Force Jet Fighter Pilot

If you’ve never met Coolstone, you’ll join those who have and cannot forget him; he always leaves you wanting more. If you know Coolstone, this is the book you have been waiting for.

Coolstone was raised on a diet of airplanes: transports, trainers, and fighters and got himself into every tight spot imaginable. He made every mistake a pilot could make and was always ready for the next take-off, even when dressed only in his skivvies.

Have you ever wondered what happens when your flare pistol accidentally goes off in a hotel room?

Then how about the day he forgot he had ordered 200 peeps from a Sears and Roebuck catalog, and they suddenly arrived!

Or when Lieutenant Curtis LeMoose has to be rescued from another squadron under cover of darkness.

Coolstone is known as a fast thinker, like the day he decided to convene the Accident Board before the accident happened…Brilliant!

Meet real-life aliens when Coolstone flies out to intercept an unidentified plane coming into San Francisco.

Enjoy these thirty-four humorous, true flying stories as told by an Air Force Air Defense Command jet fighter pilot.
