Flying Adventures CD
Fly Adven
In the past many of you enjoyed my postings of flying
adventures to places like Alert, Pond Inlet and
Cambridge Bay in the Canadian High Arctic; to Point Barrow
in Alaska and across the North Atlantic to Bergen, Norway.
With the encouragement of a number of people, and after a
year and a half of effort, I have now published a collection
of these flying adventures on two CDs.
Each CD contains 3 or 4 stories and is profusely illustrated.
Each CD contains over 200 photographic images. Over a 100
chart piece images (NOT FOR NAVIGATION) are also included to
allow you to better follow the stories. In addition to hopefully
being entertaining, the stories contain a wealth of information
about the actual flying logistics. Perhaps reading them will
encourage you too to go adventure flying.
The CDs are available for purchase at USD 29.95 each or USD 54.95
for both volumes plus shipping on our website or from many pilot
shops at USD 29.95 each. A number of images are also on the website
or directly to
http://www.nar-associates.com/flying-adventures/flyadvm.htm
There is a secure order line for ordering.
The CDs can also be ordered by calling
1-888-6 FLYADV (1-888-635-9238)
and leaving a message on the machine. Please include
the volume(s) you want, your NAME, a TELEPHONE NUMBER, your
TIME ZONE and a GOOD TIME to call you in the message.
Thanks,

Table of Contents:
Volume 1
ALASKA AND ARCTIC CANADA ADVENTURE: Travel along with Dave
Rogers and Bill Morris in Bill's C-182 to Alaska via
Edmonton and the Alaska Highway. Land on a glacier.
Continue as far north as Point Barrow, the most northern
point in the United States. Return along the Bering Sea
through Arctic Canada via Inuvik, Yellowknife, Cambridge Bay
and Churchill, Manitoba with a stop at Niagra Falls.
GRISE FIORD - The Canadian High Arctic: Adventure with Dave
and Bill as far north as Grise Fiord via Iqaluit,
Pangnirtung, and Pond Inlet on Baffin Island in the Canadian
High Arctic. Grise Fiord is the most northern inhabited
village in Canada. It is on the southern end of Ellsmere
Island at 76.5 degrees north latitude about 600 nm from the
geographic north pole where a magnetic compass is useless.
ALERT - The Top of the World: Join Bill and Dave again in
June/July 1997 while they fly the C-182 from Kent Island
near Annapolis, MD north to Alert at the TOP OF THE WORLD.
Alert, a Canadian Forces Base and the most northern
continuously inhabited place and the most northern airfield
in the world, is at the northern end of Ellsmere Island 30 nm
west of the tip of Greenland at 82.5 degrees north about 425
nm from the geographic north pole and north and east of the
north magnetic pole. Adventure with them while they land
on a gravel runway through a hole in the overcast in a
snow shower.
Volume 2
ANNAPOLIS TO KITTY HAWK RECORD FLIGHT: Join Dave Rogers and Mike
Bangert on a cold blustery dark December 1993 morning as they
establish a city-to-city speed record between Annapolis, MD and
Kitty Hawk, NC of just under 200 mph in Dave's E33A Bonanza while
not exceeding 75% power. Learn how they did it.
NATIONAL PARKS AND ALASKA FLIGHT: Adventure with Dave Rogers
and his wife Nancy as they fly their E33A Bonanza from Bay
Bridge Airport (W29) near Annapolis, MD on a tour of
Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks and then up the
Alaska Highway to Tok Junction then down the Glenn Highway
to Talkeetna with a side trip to land on the Ruth Glacier on
Denali (Mt. McKinley). The adventure continued as far north
as Kotzebue, Alaska returning down the Inland Passage via
Juneau and Ketchikan to Washington State. The description
of the flight down the Inland Passage will leave you
on the edge of your seat. Continue with them back to
the East Coast across the northern United States.
NORTH ATLANTIC ODESSEY: Dave Rogers and Bill Morris are back to
fly Bill's Cessna 182 from Kent Island, Maryland across the North
Atlantic to Bergen, Norway and return. The outbound route is via
Goose Bay, Canada, Narsarsuaq, Greenland (Bluie West One of WWII
fame) and Reykjavik, Iceland with a return via the Shetland,
Islands, Edinburg, Scotland, Dublin, Ireland, Stornoway,
Scotland, Reykjavik, Iceland, Kulusuk, Greenland, Narsarsuaq,
Greenland and Goose Bay, Canada. Fly with them as they nearly
come to grief off the east coast of Greenland.
CARIBBEAN ADVENTURE: Rather than going north as is their wont
Bill Morris and Dave Rogers went south to the Caribbean on fine
January visiting the Bahamas, Grand Turk, Puerto Rico,
Martinique, Trinidad, Curacao in the Netherlands Antilles, St.
Lucia, Antigua and St. Thomas. Join them for a pleasant and
adventurous flight to escape the northern cold. Pass by Monserrat
Island with them as the volcano erupts.
