He has several times won the Aviation/ Space Writers Association top awards as the outstanding author in the field of aviation and has also been honored as a "master storyteller" by aviation and science organizations throughout the world. He is the only civilian to have lived and flown with the USAF Thunderbirds jet aerobatic team (and won high honors for his book on that experience). He is also a member of the TenTon Club of England for his supersonic flying in the earlier days of

"Mach-busting," and is as well known for his stunt flying and airshow performances as he is for his writing.
