Bio
Ben Cole started flying in the early 1980s. He earned his private pilot's
license and during the following decades owned and built several
airplanes, but his passion was ultralights. Mostly flying from his
backyard airstrip in Suwanee, Georgia, led to many interesting and
exciting experiences over the years. In 2001 he flew to an ultralight-type
aircraft to all forty-nine continental states and Canada, a record-setting trip
for a plane that small. An account of that trip combined with other flying stories
are the subject of his latest book Little Plane Big Trip. It is the first book since
Four Down On Old Peachtree Road.
