Simply Fly – GopinathCaptain GR

Simply Fly is the best book I have read in the recent times. This is a first person account from someone who built the first chopper service company and a low cost airliner in India. This is the first person account of a humble middle class Indian who grew in a village,became an army officer, built a farm, ventured in auto business, politics and eventually
Deccan Aviation the chopper service company and Deccan Airways the airline of the “Common man” of India.

They say – “Eye on the sky and feet on the ground”. Gopinath has lived it upto it. Feet on the ground is his love of Nature, Farms and earth. Eye on the sky is literally his love of flying and aircrafts.

Former President Mr. APJ Abdul Kalam has mentioned tha this book should become a text book in all management institutions.

Gopinath is a brilliant story teller. Its really hard to believe that this is his first book.
There are many lessons for the ambitious in this book. The author stays in our memory as a humble, compassionate, hardworking and brave person who is a pioneer in many ways.

Definitely a must read!!
