Review

Flyer's Recreation Guide [1995 western edition], ". . . a fascinating compilation of destinations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. -- AVIATION CONSUMER Magazine, November 1995

For pilots and passengers who want to fly the best in the west, the Flyer's Recreation Guide - NW and the Flyer's Recreation Guide - SW are full of ideas and information. Included are tips and current costs for transportation, lodging, restaurants, hiking, fishing, evening entertainment and more. -- PLANE & PILOT, November 1999

His well-produced guide to 56 hotspots in the Northwest shows the hard work he puts into his product. -- AOPA Pilot, November 2001

The Flyer's Recreation Guide - NW is aptly subtitled "Best fly-in sites in the Northwest, and what to do when you get there." ... Even if you buy the guide and never go anywhere, it's worth the price of admission to visit - even vicariously - some of the most spectacular and exciting sites in the country. -- FLYING Magazine, November 1997

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent detail reference but not quite enough destinations, January 11, 2007

This review is from: Flyer's Recreation Guide - SW (Paperback)

These books (the NW and SW editions) are great for finding some nice flying destinations. The level of detail for each destination is substantial and they are compact and well constructed and organzied. My only complaint/concern is that facilities at small airports do change over time and the number of destinations these books cover are somewhat limited. I've had good luck and found further options by searching the web for "$100 hamburger" or similar. There are some good sites with far more destinations though the descriptions probably lack some of the detail of these books.
