The Stormpilot hardcover book standing on a Boeing cockpit panel

New expanded edition · Ships November 2026

The storms only pilots see, in a signed hardcover.

Two editions, 6,000 copies, sold out. This third and likely final edition adds a large set of new, award-winning photographs.

As an airline pilot, I’ve always kept my camera in the cockpit. This book collects about 90 of my best photographs (lightning, towering clouds, cities at night) with texts by meteorologist Michaela Koschak explaining what you’re seeing, now in English, German and Spanish.

I sign every copy by hand and dedicate it to you, or to whoever you’re giving it to.

Questions

When will my book ship?

The third edition ships in November 2026. Pre-orders ship first, in the order they were placed.

I own an earlier edition. What’s new?

The third edition adds a large set of new photographs, many of them award winners. The texts are now in English, German and Spanish (earlier editions had French instead of Spanish).

How does the dedication work?

Type a name in the “Dedicated to” field before adding the book to your cart. I’ll write a personal dedication to that person and sign it by hand. Leave it empty for a signature only.

How much is shipping?

Shipping options and cost for your country are shown at checkout, before you pay.
