I've just finished reading an interesting aviation book called "Freedom Flight". Freedom Flight is the story of two South African microlight pilots who decided to fly around the world in a couple of trike microlights.
This is a true story. Part adventure, and part documentary, I also found this book to contain a number of interesting lessons for those who us who do not venture quite so far. In this book, one of the original pilots, and his "replacement", are killed in separate accidents on route. It shows that even experienced, competent pilots can make decisions that can kill you...
Some of the places that these pilots visited on their travels are definitely in the "way out there" or "off the beaten track" category, and some of the experiences would make less driven people give up in a couple of days.
It's definitely a good read, and should be available from most decent book stores. Enjoy!
