Description
Did he expect that at age 14 he would be in a Piper J-3 flying nearly upside down in a maelstrom above the Cook Inlet?
From the time he was a toddler, Mark flew in his father’s bush planes, colored airplane pictures, assembled model airplanes, pretended his bicycle was an airplane, and watched airplanes take off and land. He never doubted he’d someday be a pilot, but when his father slid down a mountainside, would he have the skills as a teenager to fly out and get help? Find out how the bush pilot and the bush pilot’s son were alike-and different.
“This coming-of-age story details Mark’s extraordinary adventures from small boy to grown man. Mark and his father are both rugged outdoorsmen, expert aviators and fierce pioneers in the Alaskan wild, yet, there is the tension of Mark trying to
reconcile his father’s ways with his own instincts. While honoring his father’s way of life, Mark blazes his own trail throughout this excellent book.”
