What Readers Say

Great story I could not put it down until I was finished absolutely loved it. Crazy what went on in order for you to get that plane. Thank you so much for the insight. This should be a movie!!!

Best to you,

Bob,

I just finished the book and enjoyed every page of hair-raising adventure.

I will pass it along to my pilot friends now so they too can get into this exciting chase. At the end, I wanted to see you confront ALDO with his conniving ways and to see how you resolved that. Also, what did you do about all the Columbians who wanted and fully expected to get into "the BUSINESS" with you? Was it worth all you had to go thru?

Learjet 464 Juliet rates among the top five most memorable books I have read,ever. The book is engaging as well as inspirational from page one to the last page,the outcome never certain. I have not had the pleasure of meeting Bob Wood as yet,but one can gain insight into the character,intellect and strong will of the man from reading his book. Lessons can be learned from this account,one of which is that the more significant the goal,the harder it is to achieve.

The hard goals are also the most satisfying when you finally get there.

I thank Bob Wood for sharing the experiences of he and his team while on the quest for his Holy Grail, 464 Juliet.

Congratulations on the book. I am not a big book person. This was fantastic.

From the book, I feel we we're whittled from the same hard headed nut. I could have never accomplished what you did. I would be dead or still there in prison. Such dogged passion and commitment. When I had to put the book down, I couldn't wait to get back to it, to see what they threw at you next.

I feel certain I am not the 1st to say it but, AttA Boy. Great read.

N464J is a nonstop thriller which leaves the reader in suspense as Bobby Wood searches for an honorable citizen in a culture completely bereft of law.

Through the trials and tribulations that face Mr. Wood throughout this novel, his story gives a unique insight into Columbian culture and the means one must go through to take on a corrupt system, all while staying true to your morals and values.I recommend this book to anyone seeking a better understanding of ways to deal with an unfamiliar foreign culture, and to adventuress aviators in

search of exciting flight experiences in very dangerous regions of the world.

It would be our great pleasure to see this unique story turned into a feature film, and I plan to recommend this book to each of our pilots here!

Mr. Woods,

I want to thanks you for sending me your book with my lifter order. While I used to be a very avid reader it had been years since I sat down and took the time to read a book cover to cover in such a short period of time. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and found it very difficult to put down. I lost myself back into 1980, and all that was happening to you on your day by day adventure, and when I read that you got to eat your favorite breakfast with your family on my birthday it took me back to what I did the day I turn 18 in 1980. Thanks for the memory's and thanks for bringing me out of my slump as I am now looking for another book to sink myself into.

Bobby:

Thank you again for sharing your book....

Since I knew you and worked with you when we were both much younger,

i had no problem visualizing you in this environment...

This is a great story. After reading it, I think the word "impossible" needs

to be stricken from the dictionary.

My God bless you.

Good Day Bobby,

Thank you for your book 464 Juliet and for sharing your incredible experience. It’s been 25 years since I’ve read a real book and must say it was well worth the wait. It’s very inspiring for one man to have the will and True American Spirit to conquer against all odds the corruption and politics, yet Walk Tall & come home victorious. I appreciated the detailed accounts of the real life characters and your description of each & everyone of them, good and bad. I felt by the time I read to the final chapter that I could identify each personality and it made me feel a real connection with yourself. In today’s world of make believe reality TV shows & movies it leaves most people starving to watch or read a true life experience of a man with a plan and a plane. Great Job!

It was a honor and a pleasure to read your book and even more so to meet you briefly last summer.

Hi Bobby & Terry,

I do not read a lot of books, but this one I just could not put down. It's an amazing story of shear determination and refusal to accept defeat in such unpredictable & dangerous surroundings, but with faith & prayer, you overcame so many challenges and brought government corruption to light.

To you and Terry, we thank you for the signed copy of 464 Juliet and it would be great to see a movie in the near future.

Bobby,

Just want to let you know how fantastic this book is. I am a slow reader and it took me 2 weeks to finish the book. I could not wait to get home each day after work to read more. Very exciting book! The list of questions I had for you after I finished the book was long I know. You answered every one I had and the ones you could not answer I perfectly understood that lots of information is "need to know only" for various reasons.

This is the best book I have read in 20 years, hands down!With all the questions I had, and I know others have, I hereby declare that we have a follow-on book!Again, congratulations on an amazing book and I hope we continue our friendship for years to come.

I truly enjoyed the book. I was involved in Lear (23,24,25,35 and 55) flight training and charter for several years in the mid 70’s before ending up with Continental Airlines in ops management and training. Your story brought back memories of my own while flying in Africa and the Far East. I found your comments about the callousness and “Nazi like behavior” of our own bureaucracies to be prophetic. I spend a good deal of my editorial efforts challenging todays abuses coming from inside the beltway, where I lived and worked for four years. Good read!

This was a fascinating book that had me looking forward to each next moment that I would have to read it further. It is a well written book that is riddled with continual twists and turns that allows the reader to feel the ups and downs that Bob Wood faced in his attempt to succeed where others had failed. The deeds and wrongdoings of those involved in the confiscation of N464J is astounding and unexpected. It is an interesting look at the corruption and evil that stem from the drug trade and how a few well intentioned men with character can defeat the system. The ending of the book remained in question the whole time and yet I refused to read forward. Very enjoyable.
