After sailing through the South Pacific Islands in 1972, Dick Williams pursued an aviation career that spanned over forty years and 18,000 hours. Primarily based around Idaho and the well-known backcountry flying of central Idaho, he eventually found himself the chief pilot for a corporate flight department, flying jets in Boise. He retires at the end of August and is excited spend his days in the front seat of his Super Cub, exploring the country.
Pilot and author Dick Williams has released Notes from the Cockpit: A Mountain Pilot's Perspective, chronicling his 40 years and 18,000 hours flying the Idaho backcountry as a collection of fun and interesting tales.
