My Mama is a Pilot

By General Aviation News Staff · March 8, 2024 ·

Just published is “My Mama is a Pilot,” a children’s book that showcases the journey of a young boy who admires his mother, a skilled and passionate pilot.

Narrated from the perspective of a young boy, the story takes readers through the meticulous preparations and the excitement before each flight, highlighting the hard work, dedication, and sheer joy of flying, says the author, Saba Shahid.

“General aviation is not just a hobby but a significant part of my life,” says Shahid. “As a private pilot working on my instrument rating, I enjoy exploring new destinations with my family and sharing these adventures through children’s storybooks.”

The paperback book is available for $13 on Amazon and on the author’s website, FlyingAuthor.com.

    Is this book a true story ? If it is,,,then great. If it’s not a true story then I think I know what’s going on.
