You're the co-pilot on a 10,000-mile flight across the United States.
It is May, 1996. Hawk, a small, single-engine airplane, takes off from a Southwest Florida airport on a 10,000-mile aerial odyssey across the United States. Hawk And Me is the story of that flight. David Helms puts you in the co-pilot's seat so that you can share in this remarkable six-week adventure. The stunning majesty of the land unrolls beneath the wings of the Hawk. Features stand out freshly when viewed from only a few thousand feet up, rather than the usual six-to-eight miles. David Helms' attention to detail and flair for descriptive words and phrases make you feel like you are actually there in the moment. You will navigate along the Mississippi, Missouri, and Columbia rivers. You will wonder at the ghostly grandeur of the empty Sonoran and Mojave deserts. Your spirit will be renewed as you drink in the soaring splendor of the great Rocky, Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountain ranges. The bare and silent plains of Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas are inspirational. The people you meet along the way, interesting characters or just plain folks, will provide a fresh perspective on this society of ours. So Hawk is ready for departure. Welcome aboard!
Author Biography: David Helms has been a licensed pilot since 1978. He holds a commercial pilot certificate with single and multi-engine land, single-engine sea, and instrument ratings. He also holds flight instructor and ground instructor certificates.

Hawk and Me
This book was mentioned on NPR and because the author explored roads in places where or near where we had been, I wanted to read it. His premise is about the power of roads to change the world- sometimes in good ways and sometimes in bad ones. In Peru he traveled with loggers who were denuding mahogany in Amazonia and brining it over the Andes to sell. In East Africa, he went with truckers. It is assumed that truckers had brought aids to towns along the routes when they visited whores. He also went into a remote part of the Himalayas in India and walked on ice an impending route to judge how it would affect the culture there. The toughest parts to read however, were visits to both Israeli and Palestine natives. The Israeli side has young soldiers who are bored but have to man check points. The Palestinian people he visited are constantly harrassed and in fear and unable to work because of the check point, both the ones that are always manned and those that are set up all of a sudden in a temporary manner. I truly felt that our pledges to Isreal are supporting an unfair situation. The final segment was to Lagos, Nigeria a place of poor and oil rich that sounds like road traffic may be the worst in the worl.
