Bush Pilot Way
Found a good flying movie or book? Share your thoughts.
I recently picked up a copy of Bill Quirk's "
Bush Pilot Way," a fairly new release from a long time Alaskan pilot of a sweet-looking Arctic Tern. I'm just starting it but it seems like a pretty good resource. While some bush flying books are all narrative or all instructional, this is kind of a hybrid and uses the backdrop of Bill's experiences to teach his techniques. He seems like he has a similar background as MTV, flying wildlife survey. I just think it's great to see modern books like this being written.

MTV has aviation background experience??? Weird.... You'd never know as he never has anything to say.

I like the aspect ratio for the Tern's rudder.
