Capt. Neil Graham Hansen
About this listen
Neil Hansen began his aviation career as a pilot for Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa. He spent more than a decade in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War as a captain for Air America, the CIA's airline that operated there during the Vietnam era and the Secret War in Laos. Neil reveled in the risky flying that fed his adrenaline addiction. Upon returning to the States, ultimately unable to find work and unable to let go of the Air America exhilaration rush, he saw the profession he loved come to an end when his trajectory veered off course.
This historical aviation narrative incorporates the pathos of a war zone, humor, and candid insight. Neil pulls the listener directly into the cockpit, onto dirt mountain landing strips, into the raunchy brothels of Laos, alongside his first toddling steps into Buddhism, aboard the plane he flew out of Cambodia hours before it fell to Khmer Rouge, down the road of self-destruction and beside him as he regains a foothold on the path to integrity.

Simply a great story well told
Beautiful words to a true and obviously unique tale of life.
The author has a beautiful way with words that belie the grittiness and endeavour of what went on.
Kudos

Amazing story
So cool to hear Neil speak about all his adventures. I had read the hard copy previously but it’s better again listening to the man himself
