Podcast: Mark Vanhoenacker, Author of “Skyfaring”

When Mark Vanhoenacker was growing up in Massachusetts, being an airline pilot seemed like an impossible dream — “like wanting to be an astronaut,” he says — but today he flies all over the world in the front seat of a British Airways 747. How he made that journey, and what the experience is like, is the story he tells in his first book, Skyfaring, which was published in the U.S. just this week. AVweb’s Mary Grady talks with Vanhoenacker about his work, both as a pilot and as a writer.
