Flight of Passage was one of my favorite books growing up and probably my biggest inspiration to stay interested in aviation through my adolescence. I just finished rereading it for probably the tenth time. The book does a great job of capturing the innocent romanticism of flying a vintage airplane across the country, and it's that kind of thing that really drew me, and I suspect a lot of other people, to flying.

In an odd coincidence, a few years ago while I was working on my private I found out that Rinker and I both went to the same tiny college (this was after I had already graduated).

I too am looking forward to the movie someday!
