TERI WEBER

TERI WEBER ✈

inspiring generations through the world of Aviation

As a U.S. Air Force senior pilot and C-17 Instructor Aircraft Commander, I wrote Operation Aviation as a means to share the fun elements of military flying with my two children. This rhyming picture book series blends accurate STEM details with entertaining airplane adventures, and all three books showcase lessons about friendship, kindness, and teamwork.

“When you read a book as a child, it becomes part of your identity in a way no other reading in your life does.”

– You’ve Got Mail

Rhyming airplane-themed picture books
written by a seasoned Air Force pilot

Offering young readers a glimpse into the exciting world of military aviation, from afterburner takeoffs to landing on night vision goggles.

Fly with Mytai

Mytai is an F-22 fighter jet with a need for speed! It’s the day of a big training exercise, and to win this airborne game of tag, Mytai and her teammates will need to work together and share their own unique talents.

Toad the Tanker

Toad is a KC-135 tanker jet, and he’s the most helpful plane in the sky! Toad will have to share his gas by “aerial refueling” so his friends can stay airborne and fly on to accomplish their missions.

Moose on a mission

Moose is a big C-17 cargo jet who loves really big adventures! Join her on today’s mission as she flies around the world, works hard, and makes new friends—at all altitudes!

"The writing and illustrations rooted in real-world fighter pilot tactics bridge the gap between its military inspiration and young readers... Fly with Mytai is a mission success!"

- Michelle "MACE" Curran, former USAF Thunderbird pilot
