Book
FERRY PILOT
Nine Lives over the North Atlantic
Kerry McCauley has the job most pilots can only
dream of: delivering small used aircraft to
locations around the world. In his 30 years as an
international ferry pilot, Kerry has delivered
almost every kind of airplane you can name to
almost every location you can think of. In his long
career Kerry battled fuel system malfunctions
over the Atlantic, a total electrical failure at night
over the Sahara, getting lost over Africa and
getting struck by lightning off the coast of
Portugal. Not to mention losing his engine and
having to fly dead stick in a thunderstorm. Kerry's
almost insatiable, reckless quest for danger and
adventure also led to putting international
smuggler and bank robber on his resume. Kerry
found the answer to the question "What could
possibly go wrong?" time and time again. But his
skill, ingenuity and a heavy dose of luck were
what allowed him to survive the countless
mishaps, catastrophes, close calls and a nearly
fatal plane crash. While Ferry Pilot is a riveting
account of one man's crazy thirst for thrills and
adventure, it's also a portrait of a brave and
devoted family man who lost many close friends,
including his first wife, to the dangerous skies.

flying, skydiving, military aviation and corporate
jet flying. If his posts don’t have anything to do
with aviation, well, then they are about something
else! Stop by for a visit and join in the
conversation and listen to Kerry tell his “There I
was…” stories. They are mostly true and always
entertaining.
