More Adventures and Misadventures From The Big Empty. Illustrated.
Climb into the cockpit with veteran Alaskan bush pilot Mort Mason and get ready for the flight of your life.
In this book Mason shares white-knucke tales from his thirty years of flying hunters, fishermen and sightseers to remote locations around the state, where executing spot-on landings on short, narrow beaches and navigating harrowing mountain passes in sour weather are commonplace.
Mason approaches every flight with an eye to safety and a dose of common sense ... which is why he's lived to tell these tales and learn the lessons of those pilots who weren't so lucky.
In the folksy style of a seasoned storyteller, Mason recounts his experiences behind the wheel, including more than a few emergency landings, countless foul-weather flights, and even some run-ins with the law. In addition, Mason sprinkles in tales of legendary pilots who've flown before him and of those backcountry pilots still flying today in other remote parts of the glob.
