DESCRIPTION:
These are memoirs of an air taxi aircraft and a doctor with a love of the art. The place is the Lower Cook Inlet. These stories, mostly true, contain the art, science and romance of the float plane. Included too, you may find a few examples of what not to do --- and a bit of dreaming.. The visitor and the uninitiated may enjoy some detail of the how and why of operation and a bit of hanger flying with the old time pilots.If you are so inclined, these pages may be useful as a handbook of safety and sub-arctic survival for both pilot and adventurer. What follows paints much of the color and mood of Alaska aviation
A little gem for aviation fans Amazon Customer When you're a fan of aviation and of seaplanes specifically, you're desperate to find good and entertaining reading. Alaska Floatplane is just that. Mr Hughes is a fantastic story teller, and the format of the book where short stories alternate with the chapters of a more dramatic one build a wonderfully balanced pace. A professional pilot brings credibility and colors to the stories, a great writer keeps the reader wanting more pages to turn; Clancy Hughes is both, and his book is a pure delight. Please more!
