USA coast-to-coast by microlight Shortly after he passed his licence, Microlight Scotland chief flying instructor Colin MacKinnon took his Mainair trike on an epic coast-to-coast flight across the United States - and then wrote a book about his adventures. "Entranced by the magic in a fragment of fabric from the world's first aircraft, the Wright Brothers' Flyer, Colin MacKinnon - who was quickly dubbed the Flying Scotsman - took the historic relic on a coast-to-coast flight across its homeland. "On his astonishing odyssey from Florida to Kitty Hawk and California, flying at just over 40mph, he tackled snow storms in the Appalachians and dust devils in the Arizona desert. "His two-month journey, improvised from airfield to airfield, was filled with tension and risk, and packed with excitement, humour and cameraderie.

From the back cover of: "On A Wing And A Prayer, Coast-to-coast by ultralight across the US Bible Belt"
