Dawson Tanner '82 featured in Bush Pilots of the Congo
Dawson Tanner '82 is one of the featured pilots in National Geographic's Bush Pilots of the Congo. He has been living and working as a bush pilot in Congo for the past four years. His stories and photographs are astonishing, and the film, which is not a travel film, is raw, gritty, and revealing. It will air 9/23 @ 6 p.m. and 9/30 @10 p.m. on the National Geographic Channel. http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/series/explorer/3818/Overview#tab-Photos/0
"Bush piloting in the Congo, a country crippled by 30 years of war and famine, may be one of the world's most hazardous professions. The pilots come from all over; from developed world drop-outs to ex-army fliers to adrenalin junkies. Some come for the money, some for the appeal of living on the outer edge of right and wrong. In a nation not much smaller than Western Europe, where large sections of the country are inaccessible by road, the population is utterly dependent on bush pilots-- flyers with the courage and skill to land planes on some of the worlds most challenging terrain. This is their story."
