Boondoggle
By Craig Ziemba

“In Boondoggle, Craig shares his exceptional wit and wisdom while capturing the sheer pleasure that can only be experienced during flight in a high performance aircraft. He describes the beauty of God’s creation as seen from above, and does so with an exciting, life-loving style that epitomizes the joyful attitude intertwined in his character. Whether being catapulted down the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, doing test flights off the coast of Brazil, or launching on midnight missions in support of the Afgan War, Craig takes the reader on a one-of-a-kind journey experienced by a privileged few.” -From the Foreword by CDR Barry E. Wilmore
