My new book..

Fifty Classic Destinations for Pilots. Epic Adventures, Romance and Outdoor Fun in the Western USA.

..is now available at www.fiftyclassics.com

This book isn't meant as a detailed guidebook with frequencies and telephone numbers but as an inspiring guide to the best flying destinations and flying adventures. The book is a large-format 8.5 x 11 inches with 190 full-color pages and lots of photography.
The adventures begin with forever-classics such as flying to Catalina Island, a romantic stay in Sedona or visiting Yosemite, Zion, Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks. The book then adds new-classics such as swimming down a slot canyon in Fry Canyon Utah, hiking to the Colorado River from Cliff Dweller's airstrip or a photography expedition to Mono Lake California. Some adventures are genuine epic adventures such as climbing Mt. Hood in Oregon or running the Colorado River down the Grand Canyon in Arizona while some are more relaxing such as having a romantic weekend getaway at a B&B in Mendocino or flight-seeing above the San Juan Islands in Washington.
The book is focused on the outdoors so please don't expect museums and a lot of big cities.
The book has only been out a few weeks but thankfully (and with a sigh of relief) I can report excellent reviews for the book. It should make a good gift. However if you get it and don't like, I'll gladly take it back.
Thank you,
Ney

Thank you John!

Yes, one reviewer mentioned the variety and I did try for a variety of photos - aerial, externally mounted, adventures, scenic, people, volunteering missions, etc.

All using an iPhone!

Not really. I was actually sponsored by GoPro at Oshkosh for the following video: In Celebration of 100 Flying Adventures

I just got my copy of the book. It's really good and the only problem is first I can't put it down and second, I just want to go fly! If you have any chance of doing some touring by airplane around the western US, you'll want this book. I live in Austin, TX but will be heading west in the Mooney this next summer without a doubt.

Thanks,

Happy Holidays everyone and thank you!

I know for a fact that some of the traffic on my book website came from the Pilots of America board. I sold quite a few books leading up to Christmas and Aircraft Spruce even ran out twice and had to order more. Thanks again.
