Sam said Wonderful read for pilots and those who stay on the ground. This was a fun book to read. The author takes the reader on a flying experience to many of the small airportsaround the northwest. I am not a pilot but I was able to experience the joy of flying by reading the book.To a boater who has been to many of these towns by water it was interesting to see that a flightcould be done in 15 minutes that takes most of the day by boat.Every private pilot should read this before taking off. "Fabulous book" according to Good Books are Important. If you need hints on places to fly - the airports in small towns - this is a perfect book.

In fact, I've handed my readers the flight controls, and told them: 'Follow me through.' I hope you decide to join me in taking the controls of my Arrow and flying with me to some of the greatest destinations in the Pacific Northwest.. When I decided to depart from my normal writing genre (travelogue memoirs), I decided to t
Airports of Western Washington and Oregon form the backdrop for flying adventures in the Pacific Northwest.

For armchair pilots and experienced pros, this book is an escape so realistic you’ll swear you’re airborne..
