Enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Lewis and Clark trail from an open cockpit plane as you float over the same route the Corps of Discovery traveled 200 years ago. Stunning photographs of mighty rivers, plains and mountains—coupled with an adventure story—reveal America’s soul.
Professional photographer and pilot Ron Lowery flew an open-cockpit airplane, that he and his son built, over 14,000 miles across America. Along with co-pilot and author Mary Walker, they landed at airports large and small…and not at all. Their story is an inspiring tale of two people who leave their everyday lives behind as they pursue a dream. Their adventure comes alive as one reads of the dangers and challenges they encountered on their journey. With the unique plane acting as ambassador, readers will share their cultural experiences as they dined with American Indians, flew aerial ballets with crop dusters, and landed on remote ranches. Through excerpts from the Lewis and Clark journals and visits with re-enactors, one will relive the greatest American adventure. Pilot/photographer Notes through out the book give one insight into the creative mind of this flying photographer. A rich blend of American history, art, culture, adventure and a touch of romance make this book appeal to history lovers and adventurers of all types. Book is 10 x 13 inches, full color, 168 pgs. DVD ( P/N 13-04563) and Book/DVD combo (P/N 13-04564) available.
