Book Description

Stories of the Sky… is a collection of personal stories from pilot Ada. Written with humor, sarcasm, and heartfelt honesty, her tales guide readers through the many facets of flying—from first flights and new aircraft types to dangerous situations, extreme weather, health, aging, loss, lockdown, friendships, and love.

The book offers a genuine look into life as a private flying club member. Ada’s stories stick with you. They’re not just about flying; they’re about trusting yourself, pushing past fear, and finding clarity when everything feels shaky. Her wisdom from the cockpit has a funny way of making sense on the ground, too.

If you’ve ever looked up and wondered what it’s really like up there, especially as a woman, Ada’s writing doesn’t just tell you; she takes you with her. It feels less like reading a book and more like listening to a friend who’s been where you dream of going.

Born in Leiden (1964), mother of 3 children, pilot, and business owner. At age 10, Ada won a national writing competition with a short story that was published. She continued writing since and has been a regular columnist of Aviation Magazines since 2019. In 1980, Ada started flying lessons and became a licensed glider pilot a few years later. Ada owns an Aviation Consultancy and is a former board member of AOPA Netherlands.
