Settling In

At Home in My Sky

By: Rebecca McLendon

Narrated by: Leigh Townes

"Most pilots over the age of 30 remember Gordon Baxter, who wrote the 'Bax Seat' column in Flying Magazine for over 25 years. 'Bax' could paint a word picture of the romance and joy of flight like no other. Well, a new Gordon Baxter has been born! This time it is a female version of him, and her name is Rebecca McLendon! Becky's latest book, Settling In: At Home in My Sky is a sequel to her first book, The Day I Grew Wings, which was excellent, but as a pilot, I felt that there was something missing in it. She was a student pilot at the time and was thinking, Do I really have what it takes to be a pilot? I can say Becky does have what it takes to be a pilot. She has come of age as a pilot. Becky now writes with authority on the subject of flying while still incorporating the romance and joy Baxter portrayed. Some of her expressions remind me a lot of him. Settling In: At Home in My Sky is Becky's signature book. It is a motivational study for any person who is thinking about flying, especially young girls who wonder if there is a place for them in aviation. It is also a great review for old aviators like me, who may have forgotten what it took to get where we got." (Mike Trahan, Delta 767 captain, retired)
