The book series Air was born out of passion and devotion to aviation.
All of us have a different story of how we came to be involved in aviation, professionally or as a simple hobby. For some, you are just starting this journey, for others, it has been a life’s quest. Being involved doesn’t mean you have to be a licensed pilot or to even fly at all. There are different levels of participation and they all matter.
I was born this way; I’ve had my eyes in the sky for as long as I can remember. It always fascinated me to watch plane flies everytime. If I remember right, my first plane ride was a CAAC Trident, my first aircraft model was a Libyan Arab B727 in its golden livery by Herpa Wings, and my first love was the United Airlines B747 in the fabulous Saul Bass livery.
My passion of aviation keeps me motivated, excited, enchanted and going places on my aviation journeys. The book series <Air> is born as a result of that passion and devotion to my aviation hobby in 2008.

Air2 – Sold Out
I don’t just fly to travel, but I also travel to fly! Over time I have made it a goal to fly on many different types of airplanes and to try out different cabins aboard every airline. For example, I have traveled to Iran in order to fly on the world’s only remaining B707 still in commercial service. I also recently completed my first DC-8 flight in the USA. My trip experiences have left me with great memories and more exciting tales to tell than I ever would have had otherwise.
Air2 book is all about sharing that experience with you.
<Air3> has some of the best photos and stories today in commercial aviation. I have been extremely fortunate to team up with Charles Kennedy, a talented aviation writer, to bring these exciting stories and aviation histories to you. Charles and I shared our common love of aviation and meeting people. Together we’ve flown as far as to the North Pole, Mogadishu, Sapporo, St Maarten, Dhaka to just name a few.
