Jake and the Tiger Flight is a great read for the whole family. The author manages to weave some important lessons on life into an exciting story that I know everyone will enjoy. Speaking as a person who has been lucky enough to live my dream and spend my entire adult life in and around aviation, I believe this book is the perfect motivator for that young boy or girl with a similar dream. - Gil Rud, Blue Angels Flight Leader 1986-1988
I received my Tiger Flight Patch and I LOVED the book. It encouraged me to join Civil Air Patrol Rome Composite Squadron and it also made me realize that I had a great interest in aviation just like Jake.
Thank you and God Bless You.

I enjoyed Jake and the Tiger Flight very much. It brought out the excitement and adventure all boys and girls want to experience with aircraft! The book will inspire boys and girls-and maybe adults as well-to go after their dreams and make them come true. It really is a neat, suspenseful book! -Pat Epps, award-winning pilot, explorer, aviation business promoter and entrepreneur
Jake and the Tiger Flight is more than an exciting story about discovering the magic of airplanes and the heroism of those who fly them. It provides readers of all ages with practical ways to turn their dreams into reality. And guess what? The book actually makes it fun to learn the meaning of responsibility, self-discipline, and goal-setting. -Barry Schiff, retired airline captain (TWA), record-setting pilot, and award-winning aviation author
WOW! WHAT A BOOK! I could not put it down! My kids will love it at school! I just need to know when the 2nd book will be out! It was wonderful. I know just how Jake felt. -Barbara White, elementary grades teacher for 23 years
What a great idea: an enjoyable read for pre- and young teens with a real point and an incentive to actually "stick with it." Something to encourage getting away from both TV and computer screens. I'd think parents would love it. I know I have. -Gregg Loomis, pilot and author of The Sinai Secret
Jake and the Tiger Flight made me wish I was a kid again. This book is a gem for middle school students and adults alike-adventure, drama, excitement, and character development all rolled into one easy-to-teach package. A must for any middle grades reading curriculum. -Joe McKenzie, retired Army officer and middle grades teacher for 12 years
"Learning to fly is an unforgettable experience, and one that is likely to leave you fascinated with aircraft and the world of flight for a lifetime. This book should encourage many fledglings to stretch their wings." -A. Hugh Adams, President Emeritus, Broward Community College, Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Jake and the Tiger Flight reveals to young readers how dreams and ambitions are ultimately realized through hard work and in being a responsible person. It's an inspiring read filled with life lessons for students and for their parents. -Michael Buchanan and Diane Lang, authors of Micahs Child and award-winning teachers
I really loved this book! I read it cover to cover without putting it down. It's cute, well written and has a great message. Tying aviation to a message about living responsibly is clever and insightful and worth reading. -Patty Wagstaff, National Aerobatic Champion and Air Show Pilot
