Flying by the Seat of Your Pants

By Elizabeth Whisenhant

Flying by the Seat of Your Pants, with a mixture of flying and skiing, is full of sailing, teaching, coaching, family, church, community, state, and international affairs punctuated with hilarious car exploits, funny practical jokes, and hitchhiking the Alcan Highway. It highlights the life of a man who overcame great obstacles that shaped and molded him to become a wise counselor, well-informed Bible teacher, spiritual and secular leader with endless ideas and energized ingenuity--a man of integrity. Always adventurous, 20-year-old, Jim Whisenhant landed in Fairbanks Alaska with five dollars in his pocket and a dream. What he lacked in money, he excelled in dedication and concern for others. Flying by the Seat of Your Pants is about an Alaskan who left his mark with his name posted on ski trails and written in the heart and soul of those he met. Flying by the Seat of Your Pants takes the reader from Jim's humble beginning, through his youth and college years, his career with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, his family and business life, and to his high school ski coaching achievements--even the time he out-waxed the US Ski Team.
