Toss the Feathers

By Mike Marcon

What if you met your spirit guide in an empty wheat field while barnstorming in the Midwest? What knowledge would he share? How would your life change? "Toss the Feathers" is the story of a modern-day, successfully published author, who also happens to be a pilot and skydiver, who goes looking for book-worthy material to write about. In that pursuit, he trades his modern airplane for an antique biplane and decides to journey across a Middle America summer selling airplane rides as the barnstormers of 1925 might have done. With nothing but his ancient box-kite of an airplane, ready to maim him at the slightest infraction of his flying skills, a sleeping bag, a cook pot and his writing journal, he flies from town-to-town, cow pasture-to-corn field selling fifteen minute airplane rides to the curious and the adventurous. Along the way, he learns provocative answers to long held questions he has asked himself about life and the nature of the world around him. The answers he seeks are the same ones we all ask.
