Robert N. Buck flies west

Sadly, we are losing the pioneers of aviation very quickly now. Thankfully, in this case, his book: Weather Flying lives on to help us learn.

What a shame - he will be missed. Don't forget his other books - North Star Over My Shoulder is a favorite of mine.

I loved reading his stuff - he had a lot to offer, and did so willingly.

Blue skies, Mr. Buck.

And mine. I received that book as a gift from one of my students when I left Iowa for Montana. I just re-read it not too long ago on an oil rig in the middle of the Gulf... Fantastic writing.
