A Private Pilots Heaven

The book "Ice Runway" details the highlights of a private pilots flying career on the West coast of Canada. If you are a pilot, or hope to become one, and plan to do any mountain flying at all, then this is the real life adventure book for you! Roy gives us the real-life wisdom and highlights of his 20 years of flying the west coast mountains. An engineer by profession, a rock climber by choice, Roy details how he mixed his love for flying, with his love for climbing by landing on many of the major glaciers and high mountain lakes in BC. Roy pushed his super cub to the limits, and when that wasn't enough he (and a few close friends) rebuild a super cub to go even higher and farther. And yes, he lived to write the book! Roy is a one of a kind, old , bold pilot.
