<p>Sigh..... :(</p>

<p>Oh, well. Maybe in my next life. </p>

<p>Thanks for sharing! :)</p>

<p>These pictures are in the book "To Be A U.S. Naval Aviator" by Jay A. Stout. It is an easy read with multiple pictures per page. It tells much about the different training pipelines in naval aviation. It covers everything from how to get to Pensacola (USNA, NROTC, OCS, etc.) to the primary T-34 & T6 trainers, to the jets, rotary wings, and multi-engine crafts, as well as some information about being an aviator in the fleet. Great gift for anyone interested in naval aviation. My dad got it for me, I guess so that I'll have something to think about while waking at 0430 for PT this summer. It is printed by the Zenith Press (zenithpress.com), but I think he got it at Books-A-Million. Hope this helps.</p>

<p>usna2011,
Thanks for providing the book title and publisher for aspiring aviators! Good luck this summer! My daughter will be the pretty blonde teaching plebes how to sail.</p>
