From the age of three, Shane Osborn dreamed of being a pilot. He began learning the skills he would need to fly as a member of the Civil Air Patrol, a branch of the U.S. Air Force, when he was just twelve years old. But it wasn’t until he graduated from the naval ROTC program at the University of Nebraska and joined the navy that his dream became a reality. For five years, Osborn practiced rigorous training exercises, working tirelessly day in and day out until he advanced from navy pilot to mission commander.All Lt. Osborn’s flying skills were put to the test when a Chinese F-8 II fighter jet collided with his EP-3E ARIES II plane during a U.S. surveillance mission through international airspace. The impact severely damaged Osborn’s aircraft, sending it plummeting toward the ocean. With almost certain disaster looming, Osborn managed to gain control of the crippled plane and land it safely on the Chinese island of Hainan–saving the lives of his twenty-three crewmates.In Born to Fly, Shane Osborn describes these terrifying events in vivid detail, along with the years of dedicated training that made the emergency landing possible. This is the inspirational story of a boy with a dream, and of the extraordinary discipline and courage that made him a hero.From the Hardcover edition.

It's a pretty cheesy book BUT I knew that purchasing it. It was just on my must read list. Other than that.. It was in great condition.
Malakelv
Well written story of our naval aviators in a tight situation.

There are many books that give an understanding about what it’s like to learn or be able to be a pilot. When I was young I had began my interest in wanting to one day be a pilot. I have always loved the idea that I just one day may be able to live my dream. Which is the reason why I had gotten interested in wanting to read the book Born To Fly. I had read this book called Born To Fly by Shane Osborn and it’s about the historic story about the U.S Navy Pilot Shane Osborn. It’s very important because it is something that had happened and went on in the world. Starting from the age of three that's when his dream of being a pilot had began.
As Shane Osborn had grown to be older he had taught and was willing to do the most to learn the skills he would need to know to become a pilot. Later he had gotten the opportunity to learn how to be qualified to be apart of the Civil Air Patrol, which is a part of the branch of the U.S Air Force. This book was made in the year 2003. It helps a lot of explanation of how much it is that he had went through and his life story. When Shane Osborn was 12 years old he has into programs that has helped him learn and increase his skills on what he needs to learn. It's really good so far, I personally really had found this book to be interesting and one of my favorite books so far. I really like learning and listening to his story. Shane Osborn had went through so much going through his experience of what Shane Osborn had gone through Shane had to go through tough military training. He struggled with his breathing when it hit tough, he had to find ways to continue pushing himself yet fixing his problem when it came to struggling with breathing. Shane had to be under situations that are very hard to get out of. Shane was given a lot of responsibility along with many others depending on him. When being a pilot for the U.S Air it begins to get really hard to keep focus and to remain calm. There are so many lives you have and you're part of a big team like a family that you have to watch out and protect. There had been a time Shane’s crew has almost got in a plane crash when a Japanese fighter pilot hit them a few times. Luckily for Shane and his crew stayed calm and did their best and they ended up landing safely. There are a lot of important choices you have to make when you're fighting for your country and are in your group of people. There's a lot you have to look out for along with keeping an open mind you go out there and do the best you possibly can.
In conclusion my feelings towards this book is that it's very good. It shows emotion and describes many situations that he had gone through. It opens my mind to think about how many different situation each pilot goes through. Whether it's just for getting people to different states and countries. Then there's ones that pilot for wars and for the government or other countries. When you hear a personal story about someone's challenges and what they had gone through it really opens your mind to think how it might've gone for them. The things that they have either gone through or may have seen. I would definitely suggest this book to anyone who may be interested in a war type book or interested in piloting like me or just in for a good action historical story.

I like the book because it was about planes and the heroic story of downed U.S. Navy piolt Lt. Shane Osborn. I liked the book because it is a true story Shane Osborn and his crew. I also liked it because of the heroic chapter 18 plot of when Shane and his crew were going down in an aircaft. Also because it is just an all around good book about the Navy. The best part in the book is when Shane and his crew pulled up from the nose dive. The settings were great. The characters were real people and it was about a kid who accomplished his goal. The settings were good because of the real truth of where the settings take place. Shane is a young kid that has always wanted to fly and he finally accomplished his lifetime goal.

This true story of the downing of a US surveillance plane satisfies with technical details, suspense, and appropriate humor, but most importantly through the demonstration of the character of Shane Osborn and his crew. Although co-written, like most books of this type, his voice shines through with an excellently balanced acount of his life and experiences as well as the story of the headline news incident itself. This book should be required reading at all military academies.

The vivid accounts of the life of Shane Osborn growing up in Nebraska to his heroic actions while flying an American Reconnaissance plane gives the children of today a great role model and hero. Intermediate readers (and adults) realize that setting goals, working to achieve goals and keeping focused in life does result in success and in Shane's case saving 25 lives. Disappoints are not met with defeat, but rather the desire to achieve even greater levels of accomplishments. I love the message in this book and learned various Naval and aircraft terms. This is an awesome book for children looking for a hero.
