Gary Lee's passion for flying began early. Earning his pilot license on his 16th birthday, he went on to fly 20 years for the U.S. Air Force. He is currently a Captain for a major U.S. airline. The love of travel and wonder of the sky has been a lifelong pursuit for Gary and his family. He and his wife of 45 years raised two daughters, for whom his stories were originally written. The Lee family has since increased to two son-in-law's and five grandchildren.
