Fly Into the Wind

Meer over het boek

F-16 fighter pilot and Fold Of Honor founder Dan Rooney presents a code for living, encouraging ordinary people to reach their highest potential. CAVU, an Air Force acronym for Ceiling and Visibility Unrestricted, symbolizes ideal conditions for flight, much like life, which can shift unexpectedly. From the outside, Rooney's life resembled the American dream: a successful pilot, PGA golf professional, devoted husband, and father of five. However, a near-fatal incident in the cockpit led to a storm of self-doubt and a reevaluation of his life’s direction. Embracing the idea that resistance is essential for growth, Rooney transformed his perspective, leading to the creation of CAVU. In this work, he shares a disciplined approach to living that emphasizes personal control, motivation, and prioritization. CAVU is structured around thirteen lines of effort (LOE), each building on the last to guide readers toward a fulfilling life. Blending personal stories with themes of faith and purpose, Rooney aims to help readers discover their potential and interconnectedness through God. In a world marked by division and confusion, his message emphasizes self-improvement as the first step toward uplifting others.
