A catalog of dreams,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flyer's Recreation Guide - NW (Paperback)
Any general aviation pilot who flies in the west - or dreams of flying in the west - must have this book. It is a catalog of dreams and adventures, waiting for your plane, there for the taking. Reed White has selected and explored dozens of fly-in destinations in Montana, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Wyoming. They range from dirt Forest Service strips to paved full service airports, from rugged ridges to romantic getaways. Destinations listed offer something for every taste, from high country backpacking and camping to luxury resorts catering to virtually every need. In some cases the only accompdation is camping - you will be told what amenities if any are available. Near by hiking and fishing possibilities are always described. If ground transportation will be required, options are listed, ranging from hitchiking to rental cars. Other places described include listings of bed and breakfast inns, hotels and motels, restaurants etc., generally including rates charged. Local atractions are well covered. Reed White is an adventurer, and "Flyer's Recreation Guide" is in some ways a diary of his trips. But he bends over backwards to make sure any competent pilot with a suitable plane can follow in his footsteps. If you have a plane and a long weekend coming, this book will surely give you a lot of inspiration. Any pilot who claims to fly for fun and does not find this book fascinating might as well turn in his medical.
