About the Author
Sparky Imeson was born and raised in Jackson, Wyoming. He grew up in the mountains where his grandfather homesteaded, learning to appreciate them from the ground up. He was bitten by the flying bug in July 1966, beginning with his father's Piper J-3 Cub and Cessna 205. Fuelled by a love of flying, Sparky and his parents started Imeson Aviation, Inc. in 1968 at the Jackson Hole Airport.
Located at the base of the Grand Teton mountain range, Imeson Aviation offered on-demand charter, FAA Approved flight training and ground school, air ambulance, aerial application, mosquito spraying, aerobatic training, corporate flying, aircraft sales and rentals, fuelling, and maintenance.
Sparky became concerned about the number of general aviation accidents attributed to mountain flying and, finding no books on the matter, he wrote his own. He received the FAA Northwest Region's Flight Instructor of the Year award in 1974, 1979 and 1995. Many of his 20,000+ flight hours have been in small airplanes in the mountains.
Sparky's strength as a writer, teacher and mountain pilot lends to his books a clear, concise style that is not only thorough, but fun to read. He is available for mountain flying presentations and seminars.
