The Flight of the Feral Chihuahua

The Flight of the Feral Chihuahua is a true story about the effort, challenges, and fears behind setting a new round-trip transcontinental speed record in a small airplane. The author a long-time pilot and accomplished skydiver brings to the reader a vivid re-telling of modifying his home-built, experimental airplane, and then flying it 4,200 miles one winters day across the United States and back. Challenging him along the way were hours of fatigue, deep isolation, dangerous weather, and life-threatening equipment failures. But, off-setting these challenges were months of planning, state-of-art equipment, extensive training, and the love and prayers of friends and family. No matter what the readers background, this book will leave you with a sense of being there through realistic imagery and a detailed description of what the pilot saw, felt, and thought along the way.
