Fred Tribuzzo's aviation memoir, American Sky: Good Landings and Other Flying Adventures, was recently published by Koehler Books. In 2009 he self-published Saint Nick, a modern-day Scrooge tale.

Fred's flown aircraft from the J3-Cub to the fastest corporate jet ever made--the Citation Ten, and flew internationally for eight years on a corporate Boeing 737 for the Columbus-based Netjets company. On two separate tours of duty Fred played electric bass for the Numbers Band from northeastern Ohio, performing on four of the band's CDs. He's been published in Flying magazine and, in 1986, received a fellowship from the Ohio Arts Council for piano, oboe, and string compositions.
