Racing for the Gold: The Story of Lyle Shelton and the Rare Bear
A note from Mike - The link above is for a book I'd like to recommend. It is hard to mention Rare Bear and not think of Lyle Shelton. If you search for Lyle Shelton on Wikipedia, you won't find an entry for him - but it pulls up the entry for Rare Bear! Lyle sold the plane a couple of years ago - but you can't review Reno air racing history without bringing up Lyle's name. Now you can read some of his stories. Enjoy the book!

Spectacular Views from rand peck, a life aloft by Rand Peck
... I've witnessed sparkling silver sunsets over Nantucket Sound and the Elizabeth Islands in a Twin Otter and watched magnificent sunrises advance over Mt Rainer, Mt Washington and Mt Fuji from a 757. I've gazed upon the lights of Manhattan while flying low up the Hudson and toured Washington DC while flying low down the Potomac in a DC-9. I've wondered of the vastness of our Great Plains and marveled at our Rocky Mountains, buried deep in brilliant white snow from an Airbus. Chicago, Boston, New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles are spectacularly luminescent at midnight from 35,000 feet in a veteran 727. The soft, muted colors from our dessert southwest during an early morning departure from Phoenix are breathtaking, as is your first glimpse of Diamond Head or Haleakala after six lonely hours over the Pacific. My first view of London, Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Tokyo and Nagoya through the windscreen of a DC-10 was a moving experience. As exhilarating as these events have been however, nothing quite prepared me for the natural beauty that I was about to experience over Greenland. ...
