For Arctic dreamers, there was always the flight to the Nahanni River, with its Deadman’s Valley, hot springs, tales of lost or dead prospectors, the many airplanes crashed in pursuit of gold, and much more Nahanni lore.This entertaining book recollects Prinet’s adventures as a young man while capturing the humour, beauty, danger and unique culture of northern communities, in the dramatic landscape of the Canadian Arctic. Readers familiar with the region and those who can only dream of visiting it will both find this title a nostalgic and captivating read.

That is precisely what we are looking for, the adventure of living experiences. 
  	Being an airplane pilot is one of the main dreams that often surround children, dreams that perhaps, with the course of childhood, are transformed into different professions, or perhaps a dream that pursues us until adolescence, where we already at a higher degree of professional consciousness we decided to become airplane pilots.
