Noted author, photographer, and AOPA Flight Training columnist Greg Brown photographed his most popular print, “Sunset Rains” over Arizona's Verde Valley on a remarkable flight between Scottsdale and Flagstaff.

Like each of Greg’s unique “View from the Flying Carpet” images, this photograph was collaboratively tuned for print with Master Printer Richard Jackson. Each print is individually crafted, mounted, packaged and shipped under his supervision.

Greg Brown is a widely published aviation writer and photographer. Author of five commercially published books, Mr. Brown is a former Barnes & Noble Arizona Author of the Month. Some reviewers have compared his book, Flying Carpet: The Soul of an Airplane, to 1960s road-trip classics like Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and Jack Kerouac’s On the Road. Mr. Brown is also entering his 14th year as aviation adventure columnist for AOPA's own Flight Training magazine.

From childhood, Greg has been an avid photographer. Since earning his pilot’s license at age 19, he’s been shooting photos from aloft, many of which have illustrated his Flying Carpet column and book. Greg’s most memorable aerial photographs are now being released as limited edition fine art prints.
