Abook once started , hard to put down

Came across this book by Judy Leden aa a present from my wife after attending a talk by the author.I found it got more compelling as I read into the book. She found a way of mixing technical details whilst still giving a good adventure read. I felt as if I was flying with her on the altitude record drop.

Fascinating auto-biography of an exceptional HG/PG pilot

This book is a lot more than the story of a truly exceptional female pilot multi- world-record holder in hang-gliding & paragliding. It describes truly breath-taking experiences of flying in various - sometimes extreme - conditions around the world and it gives an insight into the qualities required of a world champion. It also includes many interesting reflections upon human relations, will, motivation, generosity and - yes, why not ? - the meaning of life. Evidently, it is a must for every air enthusiast. However, "non-enthusiasts" should also find it very interesting.

An absolute must for free flyers

One of the most inspirational books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. An absolute must for any free flight pilot, and for anyone reaching for a dream. Many thanks to the author, a Sky God in my book.

An inspiring, wonderful read

This book has everything, it is after all real life. It is astounding to see the dedication exhibited by Judy Leden in the pursuit of a full-time paragliding career. Sometimes happy, sometimes sad , sometimes exhilarating this is story of a very interesting life.
