1. Books? 2. Lakes

1. Reading the yard-sale-acquired novel, "Flight of the
Intruder" (Stephen Coonts) and I was wondering if anyone knows a good
novel which is similarly specific as to what is happening in the
cockpit as the first three chapters, at least, of that novel, except
specific to GA or other non-military aircraft.

I haven't read Flight of the Intruder so I don't know if this is
comparable, but it doesn't get much more specific about what's
happening in the civilian cockpit than "Fate is the Hunter" by Ernest
K. Gann. Not a novel, but still an excellent read.

I haven't personally read it, but "The High and the Mighty" (which is
a novel) by the same author has an even better reputation for putting
you in the cockpit with the characters. I really need to get around to
reading it sometime.



2. Unrelated second
question. If someone bought something like a Lake Renegade and stuck
in a sal****er bay (rather than a Lake), would that be the kiss of
death, or is it normal?
