Phil Knight and his wife, Alaina, have been lucky enough to fully enjoy the great outdoors of Montana (from a terrestrial perspective) for most of their adult lives. Although Phil is slowly devolving into an armchair mountaineer, he still has high hopes for many summits, and will keep writing about his, and other peoples’, adventures as long as he can hunt and peck on a keyboard.
Montana has an illustrious aviation history. Mountain flying had its genesis here in the Treasure State and the techniques, skills, and equipment that were tested in the big stormy skies over Montana mountains are used by pilots around the world, from Alaska to the Andes and Himalayas.
