One such person is Chris Broyhill, whose first novel, The Viper Contract, came out late last year. FBO chain Atlantic Aviation featured the book at its booth at 2011 NBAA Convention in Las Vegas, after buying 1,000 copies. Broyhill, a current Gulfstream GIV and Falcon 900EX pilot and former F-16 Viper pilot, is a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Fighter Weapons School and Air Force Academy. He has also written articles for AIN.
