“Lt Colonel Dan Rooney is a true patriot who serves our country with courage and honor.”—George H.W. Bush, 41st President of the United States 

F-16 fighter pilot, American hero, Folds of Honor founder, PGA professional, and inspirational family man Dan Rooney delivers a motivational code for living to help ordinary people ascend to their highest level in life.

Part spiritual guide and part call-to-action, Fly Into the Wind combines Lt Colonel Rooney’s fighter pilot stories with his discovery of Christian faith and purpose in order to help each reader achieve a philosophy he calls CAVU, after the Air Force acronym that stands for “ceiling and visibility unrestricted.” CAVU describes the perfect conditions for flying a fighter jet, when steel-blue skies invite pilots to spread their wings like supersonic eagles. In today’s world of identity politics, fractured racial relations, and external turmoil, Rooney’s book will show how all of us are connected by God in more ways than we realize, and that the path to fulfillment and personal growth begins with changing ourselves in order to better one another.

From the outside, Lieutenant Colonel Dan “Noonan” Rooney was living the American Dream: he was an F-16 fighter pilot, PGA Professional, husband to his college sweetheart, and father of five daughters. His position in life should have been a blessing. But a near-tragic mishap while piloting his F-16 triggered an ominous life storm that altered his trajectory and filled him with self-doubt.

Realizing that a jet takes off into the wind because it requires resistance over its wings to fly, Lt Colonel Rooney’s attitude toward the resistance he encountered in his life changed from resentment to humble introspection. Hyper-focused on the precise areas that are immediately under your control, CAVU is a disciplined approach to each day that will help you reshape, motivate, prioritize, and ultimately thrive. In this powerful military memoir, Fly Into the Wind, Lt. Colonel Rooney breaks down CAVU into ten unique lines of effort (LOE), with each LOE building upon the previous one to provide a positive vector toward a new way of living. Along this enlightened path, readers will discover a renewed belief in themselves and the art of the possible. The time for self-discovery and ultimate achievement begins now. 

This powerful motivational guide provides a flight plan for a better life, built on ten lines of effort:

• A Fighter Pilot’s Framework: Learn the ten lines of effort that make up CAVU—ceiling and visibility unrestricted—a disciplined, Air Force-inspired code for achieving clarity and peak performance in your daily life.
• Overcoming Adversity: Discover how a near-fatal mistake in an F-16 taught Lt Col Rooney that we need resistance to fly, and how your own struggles can become your greatest source of lift.
• Service Before Self: Be inspired by the incredible story behind the Folds of Honor foundation and see how dedicating yourself to a mission bigger than yourself is the true secret to fulfillment.
• A Call to Faith and Purpose: Explore a patriotic message of hope, showing how Christian faith connects us all and how the journey to personal growth begins with the courage to change ourselves to better one another.
