Rinker buck's personal aviation history is literally an open book: He wrote Flight of Passage, his 1997 memoir that recounted how he and his brother flew from New Jersey to California in a refurbished Piper Cub in 1966. The brothers, Kernahan and Rinker, were 17 and 15 and the youngest pilots to make such a trip. They flew without a radio, using pilotage and dead reckoning. It's also an entertaining history of their family-Buck is one of nine children-as well as of their father. Thomas Francis Buck was a media-sawy magazine publisher who, even as he encouraged his sons to make the incredible journey, lined up press appearances at several of their fuel stops.
