Darryl Kimball always wanted to fly. This is actually the report of how he completed his dream. It is the report of how a little town country youngster found his way to NORTH PARK, California, and finally in to the helicopter unit of one of the greatest sheriff's departments in the country. In many ways it's a success story, a story of determination - the one that says that whenever the odds seem to be to be stacked against you, or when your mind lets you know you are not smart enough or sufficient, or tells you to quit and go back home, you don't hear. You stick it out, you move forward...therefore you persevere. Like a helicopter pilot with the elite air support product of the NORTH PARK Sheriff's Office, Darryl Kimball has hunted for lacking children, extracted captured drugs and other contraband out of cramped locations, medevac'd hurt hikers from valleys dense with boulders and brush, directed deputies during firearm battles, and tracked carjackers as they attempted to escape seeking officers through heavy freeway traffic. Capture the Sky is the first detailed look at the life of the police force helicopter pilot. Kimball pulls no punches, unfolding his nail-biting personal report in enthralling depth. From death-defying rescues to reports both bizarre and funny, Catch the Sky places you inside the helicopter cockpit for a breathtaking ride you may never forget.
