John Burdett writes what I call "Cultural Mystery" ... very interesting books for the right reader.

This is an absolutely superb deal. You can download episodes of the outstanding program The Century of Flight and keep them on 2 PCs and 2 portable video players for only $1.99 per episode. You can also play them through a Tivo from your PC with the Tivo Central software.
There are 25 excellent episodes to choose from! You can pick individual episodes you will be interested in from the excellent descriptions provided on Amazon's site.
Have a commercial airplane ride ahead of you? Pick a couple of eposides and load them on your laptop. A couple of bucks an episode is a lot cheaper than a paperback book and cetainly better than the movie the airline will sell you!
I particularly recommend episode #25 Aviation Ideas that Failed and episode #15 Korea to the Gulf War. Really, this is great stuff for any man or boy... pilot or not!

You are always responsible for your own safety and actions. Florida is a great place to fly, but there are hazards as different as 1000 foot+ plus antenna towers (a LOT of them!), birds, high winds, poor horizontal visibiity, thunderstorms that come out of nowhere, and many other airplanes.
