Still Looking Up: An Aviation Memoir by Brandon Howard

A Lifetime of Flying. A Lifetime of Stories.

For as long as I can remember, aviation has been part of my life.

My fascination with airplanes began when I was a young boy, thanks in large part to my dad, who introduced me to the world of flying. What started as a childhood interest eventually led me into the cockpit as a private pilot and grew into a lifelong passion that continues today.

Along the way, aviation has taken me places I never imagined, introduced me to remarkable people, and given me experiences and memories that have stayed with me for decades.

And now, I’ve brought some of those experiences together in Still Looking Up, an aviation memoir about the people, places, and moments that have shaped my lifelong love of flying.

Still Looking Up: The People and Places Behind a Lifetime Love of Flying

An aviation memoir by Brandon Howard

This book is about much more than airplanes. It’s about the excitement of learning to fly, the challenges and decisions that come with being a pilot, and the adventures that unfold when you have an enduring fascination with aviation.

It’s also about the people who make those experiences meaningful. My dad, who started it all. The instructors and fellow pilots who helped me along the way. My wife and sons, with whom I’ve shared so many adventures. And the people I’ve encountered during a lifetime of traveling.

From the left seat of a small airplane to the passenger cabin of a commercial airliner, these stories reflect the joy, humor, occasional uncertainty, and lasting memories that flying has brought into my life.

You don’t have to be a pilot or even an aviation enthusiast to enjoy the journey. At its heart, this is a book about following a passion, appreciating the experiences along the way, and recognizing the people who make the journey worthwhile.
