Winging It!: The Incredible True Story of How a Passenger Landed an Airplane

"Mayday, Mayday, Mayday! I am not a pilot. The pilot is dead!"

Thousands of feet above the North Lincolnshire, England countryside, John Wildey suddenly found himself as the pilot in command of a small Cessna airplane. Unfortunately, he had absolutely no piloting experience at all!

After the pilot suffered a heart attack, John Wildey began a harrowing fight for his life. He was alone in the dark, night sky, and he had to learn to land an airplane, or he would not survive.

This is the incredible and thrilling true story of how John Wildey overcame his predicament, and landed safely against the odds. It is the fascinating account of how one man rose to the ominous challenge, and earned the respect and admiration of those assisting him.

In complete darkness, unable to see any of the instruments, John landed the plane at an international airport in Humberside, England, with the help of an RAF Search and Rescue helicopter, a Flight Instructor, and an Air Traffic Controller.

This true story is as riveting and suspenseful as any fictional aviation thriller!
