Aviation Stories

Commander Madison "Maze" Carter has spent her career enforcing standards, managing risk, and keeping people alive. When the Navy assigns her to oversee aviation training for the cast of a high-profile Top Gun sequel, she expects impossible schedules, production headaches, and actors who don't understand the dangers they're walking into.

As training intensifies and filming draws closer, professional respect slowly grows into something neither of them expected. Surrounded by Navy pilots, ambitious actors, production pressure, and the relentless demands of Top Gun: Maverick, both must learn that trust is earned one decision at a time.

My first flight gave me wings. My past was waiting for me at the boarding gate. Years after walking away from my first love, I thought I'd left that chapter behind. I was wrong. As old memories begin resurfacing, so do the dreams, promises, and heartbreak that once shaped who I was-and the people who shaped me. This is a story about first love and forever love. About being remembered in the smallest ways. About choosing yourself without stopping yourself from loving. About family, ambition, healing, impossible choices, and the lives we build after goodbye. Because sometimes... gravity isn't strong enough to keep two souls together. And sometimes, letting go is the only way to finally fly.

While Judy always dreamed of sitting behind the screens of an air traffic control tower, guiding aircraft safely through the skies, Nethan dreamed of one day sitting in the cockpit, flying them.

Judy is determined to become an air traffic controller. Nethan is determined to become a pilot. But college isn't just about chasing dreams. As they grow closer to their careers, they discover that loving someone in aviation isn't always easy.

Between the Tower and the Sky A story of childhood friendship, first love, aviation, dreams, and a love that refuses to land. ✈️❤️

In writing Mustang in France I developed a complete backstory for the main character, Marc Suchet. The more I worked the more scenes from earlier in his story flashed in my head. My plan is to eventually have at least 20,000 words about Marc's first combat tour and have it be its own complete stand alone story. When I started writing Mustang in France I wanted to write a good aerial combat story. It quickly took a hard turn into what it is now. My plan for this prequel is to go back and write a good combat flying story. No love interest, maybe losing a girl, but the focus will be on his time with the 48th and 94th Fighter Squadrons.

This fanfiction takes place in Aetherreal, an alternate version of the world of Strangereal where the events, nations, characters, and technology of both Ace Combat and Project Wingman have always existed as part of the same history. The story begins during the events of Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, following Trigger, the Osean Air Defense Force (OADF), and countless pilots caught in the chaos of the Lighthouse War. However, unlike the original Ace Combat timeline, mercenary organizations, nations, aircraft programs, and legendary pilots from Project Wingman are fully integrated into the world's history. This is not a multiverse crossover. There are no alternate dimensions or parallel worlds. Instead, Aetherreal is a reimagined continuity where both franchises naturally coexist within a single shared setting. While the story starts during the Lighthouse War, it will expand far beyond the events of Ace Combat 7. As old rivalries fade and new powers emerge, the world enters a new era of aerial warfare. Future conflicts, original wars, political crises, and technological revolutions will shape the decades that follow. While Aetherreal shares much of its early history with the original Ace Combat timeline, its future diverges significantly after the events of Ace Combat 7. The corporate conflicts, political landscape, and technological developments depicted in Ace Combat 3 do not occur in this continuity. Instead, the world follows its own path, shaped by new wars, emerging powers, mercenary organizations, and the actions of legendary aces. Future events may draw inspiration from Ace Combat 8 and other entries in the series, but they are reinterpreted as part of Aetherreal's Expect realistic military terminology, radio communications, squadron designations, operational briefings, and air combat doctrine inspired by modern military aviation and the Ace Combat franchise. Stick with Trigger, and you will make it.

The spy plane soared unseen over the planet. Its seeming target was a rising Asian power. But another empire that traded in addiction and human misery would really feel the effects of its short, fast flight.

The story of a new airline and its hardships

The magical, lyrical, hysterical flying adventure from the author of Memories of an Emerald World and The Jungle Express! When a sleep-deprived American Air Force pilot in Panama has a vision of tropical treasure, his misfit companions set out to bring the dream to reality.

Based on Bleriot's own experiences as a counterdrug pilot, Flying Naked's colorful characters, sharp dialogue, and fast pacing bring the quest to life - as do his hair-raising descriptions of flight. Readers have compared Bleriot to Ernest Gann in his ability to put the reader inside the cockpit and Flying Naked does not disappoint.
