Favorite New England Airports: A Guide to Aviation Activities and Entertainment

Rating:
Summary: Not just for pilots
Review: After reading each chapter of this book, I wanted to visit every place the author described. Kohn is obviously a New Englander and is intimately knowledgeable about places to visit in New England and things to do. For someone who is not familiar with the area that Kohn writes about, the book offers an insiders look at unique B&B's, great restaurants and their specialties, parks to visit and a myraid of other fun things to do while visiting the area. This book is much more than a guide for pilots. Anyone traveling to this area of the United States should read Favorite New England Airports: A Guide to Aviation Activities and Entertainment. It offers one the chance to greatly enhance their vacation to New England!

Summary: A Renaissance Pilot Covers New England
Review: James Kohns' book appeals to me because the author--rather than trying to write a guide that covers every airport, restaurant, and hotel and quickly becomes obsolete--focuses his comments on several activities and places he has personally enjoyed and thinks others will also like.

Kohn loves taking flight to enjoy New England's great outdoors, sports, the arts, culinary adventures, and lovely inns. His enthusiasm is infectious. He covers many places and topics, among them whitewater rafting, outlet shopping, and climbing Mount Katahdin in Maine; skiing, golfing, and boating in Vermont; exploring Nautucket and Martha's Vineyard and historic Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts. He notes museums, offers advice on places to eat and stay, and provides the all-important basics of how to get around once you touch down at the airport.

In short, pilots who want to explore more of New England will appreciate the book for its practical advice on flight aspects. Pilots and non-pilots alike will enjoy the unique vantage point this book offers on activities. This is a delightful and practical guide to a varied and interesting part of the world.
