Description: Travel to America’s last frontier and enjoy the thrilling ride. When an insatiable love for the world of aviation pushes college-age South Dakota farm boy John Rethke to “score” a once-in-a-summer job with Fairbanks Air service (FAS) in Alaska, his first challenge is just getting there. The Air Force Reserve Officer Training (AFROTC) cadet hitchhikes five hours south to Offutt AFB in Omaha, where he hopes to catch an Air Force Space-Available flight to Alaska—but things do not go exactly as planned. Once he finally makes it to Fairbanks, John discovers the hard way that some people survive Alaska and some do not. Every day presents opportunities to learn more about the unique aviation requirements of wild Alaska, and with the help of a myriad of new friends, he manages to overcome each challenge. On his last day with FAS, a near-death experience almost cuts John’s story short; ultimately, however, his final surprising “escape” from Alaska only adds to the excitement of his adventure. His journey begins as an invincible twenty--year-old and ends with him knowing he is anything but invincible—and needs to appreciate every day of his life.
