‘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.

“DEAD RECKONING”
Kerry’s blog is about all things aviation. Ferry 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.
