Flying is ...

Briska De L'Aven flew as a flight attendant on B727/B737/B747-200/400/AVRO RJ 85/CRJ-700/900/Embraer E190/E195, purserette on B737 and was also an AVRO/CRJ emergency trainer between 1978 and 2020, with a break from flying from the end of 1992 to 2003. Briska also flew for several years as a private pilot on a small single-engine Cessna 150/152 in Germany and USA/Florida. What is life like as a crew member? Flying is... first and foremost, meeting lots of people, striking up conversations with them, and enjoying seeing passengers and crews feel comfortable with us. From an early age, flying and the proverbial scent of the big wide world irresistibly captivated Briska, and her dreams came true... In a cheerful and profound way, the author creatively illuminates the many different sides of an exciting aviation life from all kinds of angles. The vibrantly and artistically designed piece of work on high-quality photo paper is a riot of colour and an equally colourful reading pleasure.
