Pilot being an aeronautical term, what are the representations? The plane represents my life, pilot represents my body. So the question is, who is controlling the body? My spirit or God? Flying a plane just like driving a car or steering a boat there can only be one set of hands on the wheel.
So again the real question here is, who is flying the plane? Your position is that God cannot be relegated to a mere co-pilot position he has to be the Pilot.
Then I have to ask this question, if God is the pilot then what are you? Pilot or Passenger? So God drives and I just sit in the passenger seat.
Oh and they better have good movie on this flight. No where in the bible is it said we can just quit flying our plane. Ephesians says, Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. This and literally the entire word of God tells us to fly the plane, be ready, nowhere does it say to stop flying our plane.
To be fair, God is my Co-Pilot was the absolute correct thing for Col Scott to say, but maybe not for us in this age. There is no doubt we must fly our own plane therefore God is not the Pilot of our plane.
Who can see all the obstacles in the sky? Like the ultimate Air Traffic Controller God gives the course to fly, but it is up to us to physically change the course of our plane. This is where true faith in God comes.
How many times did God tell the prophets to fly their planes into the storm. A great example of this is Jonah. God told Jonah to fly his plane to somewhere he did not want to go.
What did he do, flew his plane in the opposite direction and we all know how that ended. So can God be my Pilot? If God has to fly my plane then what good am I?

This book really influenced me in that I wanted to learn to fly and then go into the military. Jul 08, Laura rated it really liked it. I liked this book a lot, especially because it was a neat jumping off point to another discussion with my grandpa about his experience in China Burma India in to the end of the war.
He read the book 60 years ago, and my reading of it now is making him want to dig out his copy and try it again. It was neat to have my grandpa's opinion on some of the book. He said he remembered the places the pilot was talking about, saw the top of Mt. Everest one time, and remembers clearly listening to the T I liked this book a lot, especially because it was a neat jumping off point to another discussion with my grandpa about his experience in China Burma India in to the end of the war.
Everest one time, and remembers clearly listening to the Tokyo radio and having the Tokyo Rose tell him, by name, that they were going to kill him. I think the book was a realistic look at the life of a pilot at war, and the hatered for the enemy, on both sides. May 21, Scott rated it really liked it. Scott was a very intense and interactive story. This work of non-fiction was exciting and never fostered a boring moment. The story begins with twelve-year-old Robert Scott executing a carelessly planned prank on his church congregation.
He is punished by his preacher and lashes out in vengeance. Young Scott carves a fifty-foot piece of canvas from a makeshift church tent and uses it to build a glider. Scott attempts to fly the glider and crashes it down a steep hill into rose bushes.
From then on Scott moved onto buying his own plane and then his career "took off" and "landed" him in an extraordinary place. Scott goes on to become a mail-carrying pilot for the united states army after completing his pilot training for the military. Scotty, as he becomes known, was scheduled to be part of a secret military attack against the Japanese enemy of the Second World War.
His mission was canceled due to changing intelligence and he was moved into India where he transported plane parts over the Himalayas. Scott obtains a position as a fighter pilot and begins flying attack missions for the military. The stories that Scott tells of the missions he flew and the situations he got himself in and out of are truly amazing. His first person writing style makes it feel as if you are in the cockpit with him. Be subject to all his emotions and actions truly emerges yourself into the novel.
The gripping details of Scott's recalled events are almost unbelievable. He never leaves you stuck in a boring or slow part of the story.
I could tell that Colonel Scott lead a very interesting life and had truly mind-blowing experiences in his Air Force career. I was deeply impressed by this novel and absolutely loved it. I felt a connection with the author and his stories because of how personal they were written.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a definite thriller, a book that you just cannot put down. I do caution that there is deep emotion and some death with the stories that Scott exposes you to, so be prepared.
However, the stories still do grab a hold of your mind and never let go. Be prepared to take a turbulent flight through the piloting life of Colonel Robert L. Feb 17, Edward Guillaume rated it really liked it Shelves: ww2-aviation-account. Found this in my library collecting dust, but after reading it I was more than amazed of Robert L. Scott's account as a pilot. Published during the war, it can be seen as a propaganda piece, but I did find a lot of honesty in his accounts and even respect for the skill of the Japanese pilots and that the Imperial forces shouldn't be underestimated.
He flew the PE, which is by no means a turn fighter against the Japenese Nate, Oscar and "Zeros" which is what he refers to as the enemy planes; Found this in my library collecting dust, but after reading it I was more than amazed of Robert L. He flew the PE, which is by no means a turn fighter against the Japenese Nate, Oscar and "Zeros" which is what he refers to as the enemy planes; but then again a lot of pilots referred all Japenese fighters as Zeros , which makes me wonder he was either very lucky not to have been shot down, or an incredibly skilled fighter pilot.
Either way, the book is a must read. Nov 15, Beau rated it it was amazing. Perhaps this book is nothing more than a propaganda piece from the s, but as a twelve-year-old boy, this book grabbed my attention like none other. I found an original print of it one fine summer in Greensboro, Vermont at the local library during a book sale and purchased it for 50 cents.
