Hello Bobby,
I just finished reading Learjet 464 Juliet. Once I started reading the story, I couldn't put the book down. The way you told the story I felt like I was there with you, drinking Coke and eating fries, Ha. Ha. The more I read, the more I enjoyed the next twist and turn at every corner. It shows that when you want something bad enough, its not impossible, but you get out what you put in to it. Thank you and Terry for sharing your story, I read it in two days. I thinkthis would make a great movie.

Bobby,
Wanted to tell you I finished reading your book "464 Juliet" and I am totally wrung out. Truly enjoyed the pleasure and related too much to some of the frustrations you went through. Thanks for the privilege of being able to read your book. Can't say I never put it down once I started reading it.
I will say that I lost some sleep staying up reading way past my usual bedtime. I hate to have a good book end, makes me have a kind of lost and lonely feeling. Hope to see you at the Ashville, Al. Slasham Valley Irregulars Flying Club before long. I am bubbling over with questions.

WOW!
What a good book. When you told me about your book and the troubles you went through to free Juliet from Columbia, I knew it would be interesting. I am amazed at your determination and resolve not to give up in spite of everything from government corruption to organized crime. Once I started reading I didn't want to stop. In addition to making Harleys go fast you are an excellent wordsmith. This makes me hope you will one day write a book about your racing career. Thanks for letting me read the book.

Bobby,
You have turned a truly trying experience into an absolutely enjoyable read. Having spent a little time in the Middle East and experienced the original version of "baksheesh"...(the grease that allows the wheels of all business to turn), it seems that the Colombians had raised that thousand year old custom to a new world art form. You clearly have the patience of Job which probably explains why you flew her out where the previous "suitors" failed. Couldn't put it down...a great story for any aviation fan.

Bobby,
Just finished reading your book. Also I couldn't put it down either. Even though I knew the final outcome. Tears came to my eyes when you described Terry's reaction. Her tension and stress was palpable and now she was finally at peace. Also you were a little too kind in your description of her tolerance.

I really enjoyed reading “Learjet 464 Juliet”. I couldn’t wait to get back to the book to find out what would happen next and if you would be able to get 464 Juliet out of Columbia. It was so interesting the way you described all of your problems with the government, judges and lawyers and how everybody had their hands out for payoffs. I’m really glad you finally met a lawyer who was able to help you. I thought this was a great book.

Loved the book. Thanks for giving it to bob. I usually don't read nonfiction books but this one I couldn't put down. I felt like I was with you. The anxiety of all the problems and counting the days till the plane left kept me on my toes. I would lose track of time while reading it. It was an awesome journey for everyone involved. Do you still have her? Thanks again for letting me read.

All I can say is wow! and wow! I read quite a bit and I could not put this book down. I had several dreams after some nights of reading the book and being there and in tight spots and scary places. I was not surprised at your determination and eventual success Bob. With our conversations and dealings over the years I know you to be a man in front and ahead of the pack. I also admire your family for always being there for you. That is truly a blessing.

Congrats Bobby
What a great book. Very inspirational. Shows how anything can be accomplished if you want it bad enough. Its hard to believe how different other countries work from ours. The U.S. Has its problems but ill take in over anywhere else in the world. Thank you for writing and letting me share your adventure with you. Its really cool to know a little background about one of the heroes of the sport i love so much. The book was riveting.
Couldnt put it down and now my mentor is reading the book and so far has the same opinion. Thanks again for one of the best books I've ever read. Thanks,

Wow, just finished the book and what a read. The story is intriguing and keeps you wanting more as the plot unfolds. Amazing how a person with a strong will and desire to succeed can get you through the most difficult of times! I need a epilogue to know what happened to 464 Juliet. Can't wait to see the movie, wonder who will play Bobby? Nick Cage!!

Bobby,
Very good book. Really enjoyed reading it. It is a wonder you made it out of that country alive. I can see you telling them all where to go as you left out the final time. Terry asked if there was anything I would like to see added or taken out after I read the book and there were a few format changes I'd make. Put a list of the players in front of book, court orders in back. Loved the book though you did a great job telling your story.
