Book- Mile-High Missionary: A Jungle Pilot's Memoir

What makes bush flying difficult?

The principle of lift works the same anywhere on the planet.

But the bush provides neither training wheels nor guard rails.

It may be beautiful, but make no mistake, it’s trying to kill you.

Sane pilots don’t operate there.

But pilots compelled by a higher call dare.

They learn how to find their way across desolate deserts,

jagged mountains, and inhospitable jungles.

They master the art of throwing a couple of tons of aluminum at atrocious airstrips well enough so they can take off again.

Learn how they do it.

Learn why they do it.

Sit in the pilot’s seat as this missionary pilot flies you into the

Amazon Jungle.

See what he saw.

Hear what he heard as he wrestles a hostile environment to serve

hidden people.

Experience bush aviation firsthand as this pilot asks:

Is my airplane safe to fly?

Can I find one tiny scratch of an airstrip hidden in an immense jungle?

What if the weather changes?

Can I land and stay on the runway?

Can I take off without hitting trees?

Does my flying benefit the ex-headhunters I work with?

Am I honoring God, or just playing with airplanes?
