De: James Byrne

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Fasten your seatbelts for the first The Smokey Chronicles, the must-read aviation humor collection featuring Captain Smokey Thornberry - the most outrageously confident pilot whose flying skills are matched only by his talent for embellishment!

Meet Smokey: a man who wasn't born to follow rules—he was conceived to rewrite them with flourish. With 147 pairs of aviator sunglasses (each with its own name, personality, and Instagram account), Smokey transforms ordinary flights into extraordinary airplane adventures that will have you laughing until your oxygen mask drops.

Discover why airlines let Smokey describe turbulence as "spicy air" after passenger satisfaction scores jumped 47%! Follow his journey from humble beginnings in Tulsa to becoming the aviation legend whose landings are so smooth passengers don't realize they've touched down until they see him strutting through the cabin giving finger guns to babies.

What readers love about this hilarious collection:

• Smokey's pre-flight Macarena ritual performed exactly seven times before takeoff
• His conversations with aircraft he's named "Old Bessie" and "The Maverick"
• Tales of outmaneuvering Canada geese "trained by Russians"
• The infamous "tactical bubble gum" that allegedly saved a plane from disaster
• His possibly fictional grandfather who taught Chuck Yeager to fly "the fun way"
• Flight deck stories that have been described as "stand-up comedy at 35,000 feet"
- Aviation Humor Hilarious Pilot Adventures

From military training mishaps to survival challenges involving rubber ducks and igloo casinos, these funny pilot stories chronicle Smokey's meteoric rise through aviation ranks despite (or perhaps because of) his creative interpretation of physics and FAA regulations.

Experience the chaos through the eyes of exasperated co-pilots, ground crew, and flight instructors who've had their lives forever changed by Smokey's unique pilot personality. Witness his "extreme origami" technique—folding paper airplanes while blindfolded and riding a mechanical bull—which he claims maintains his pilot reflexes.

Perfect for aviation enthusiasts, frequent flyers, and anyone who enjoys comedic fiction with heart and humor. This isn't just another pilot memoir—it's your boarding pass to the most unpredictable journey in aviation entertainment history!

The Smokey Chronicles delivers aviation comedy with the flair of a natural storyteller. If you enjoy funny travel stories, flight humor, and airplane comedy, prepare for a ride you won't forget. Welcome aboard the most unnecessarily theatrical flying on Earth!

Dive deeper into Smokey's world where flight attendant humor meets aviation satire in this collection that's taking the literary skies by storm! Each chapter reveals more outrageous cockpit chronicles that blur the line between reality and Smokey's vivid imagination.

Experience the infamous "cloud hug incident" where Smokey executed an unauthorized barrel roll because "that cumulus formation looked like it needed emotional support," prompting his commanding officer to create an entirely new category of infractions titled "Thornberry-specific violations."

This expanded edition includes bonus airline pilot humor featuring Smokey's interactions with air traffic controllers who've developed a special "Smokey Protocol" and the fire chief who named him after witnessing his first aviation disaster.

Perfect for fans of aviation tales who appreciate the absurd side of flying. Whether you're an aviation professional who'll recognize the grain of truth in these exaggerated adventures or simply someone who enjoys pilot jokes and airplane pilot stories, The Smokey Chronicles delivers laugh-out-loud entertainment from takeoff to landing.
