Richard LaPorte lives in Newport, New Hampshire. But in the course of a long career as a bush pilot, he spent a lot of time in the skies over northern Canada and Alaska. He's retired now, but he recounts his experiences in his book, "The Adventures of a Bush Pilot." He talks about memorable moments from his long career, including a 5000-mile trip to Alaska, and the challenges of making a living in this dangerous profession.
