English Summary/英文概要： Bill Austen had some scary experiences; it came with the job of being a pilot. Having something go wrong at 90% of the speed of sound can really grab your attention. Flying big jets around the world for over forty years provided plenty of aviation stories, not just the scary ones but funny and sad ones as well. Adrenaline pumping days were matched by wondrous experiences - there were plenty of highs in the job and not too many lows. In CLOUD SURFING the stories unfold with the technical details described in everyday l jumping into pools wearing life jackets as well as a tip on how to avoid stray bullets. All this helps explain the excitement Jumbo pilots feel every time they go to work; pilots essentially strap a 400 ton aircraft to their backs then hurtle off around the world, going as fast and as high as they possibly can.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 比爾·奧斯汀有過一些可怕的經歷；它伴隨著飛行員的工作而來。在 90% 的音速下出現問題確實會讓人腎上腺素飆升。四十多年來，他在世界各地駕駛大型噴射客機經歷了許多航空故事，不僅有可怕的故事，還有有趣和悲傷的故事。有很多高潮，沒有太多的低點。在《雲衝浪》中，故事以日常生活中穿著救生衣跳入泳池的技術細節以及如何避免流彈的提示展開。所有這些都有助於解釋大型客機的飛行員每次上班時的興奮感；當飛行員將一架 400 噸重的飛機起飛，前往到世界各地，並盡可能快、盡可能高地飛行。(Zoe)
