YES! That's it -- Take Off! It had a Phil Foglio cover, came out in the early 80s or late 70s, and had a sequel called Take Off Too!
Once I remembered Foglio, a Google search found it for me right away:
Take Off! (Randall Garrett) - DONNING/STARBLAZE
(and the sequel Take Off Too! (Randall Garrett) - DONNING/STARBLAZE)
Alibris http://www.alibris.com/search/books/qwo ... ed/Takeoff]!] lists several copies for sale, and Amazon.co.uk points at a couple dealers who also have copies.
(Some sources list it as "Takeoff", which may explain how hard it is to find with a text search.)
I'm looking for a page with a table of contents so I can find the story title, but we can at least put what we now have in the entry.
(EDIT) I just found an image of the cover. "Takeoff" (one word) is the proper title.
(EDIT2) Found the title: "The Horror Out of Time".
