First American To Fly Into The Russian Kamchatka Peninsula
In 1992, Steven Myers became the first American pilot to fly into the Kamchatka Peninsula, located in Far Eastern Russia. Steve's role helped to create a union between the United States and the governor of Kamchatka in one of the first successful Russian-American ventures. His involvement helped create a refueling base for carriers with international cargo near the city of Petropavlovsk and introduced entrepreneurship into post-Soviet Russia.
As a result of Steven's international efforts, he was invited to give expert testimony before the U.S. Committee on Government Operations about how to best conduct international business in Russia. Steven Myers' book, Dancing with Russians: Adventure & Entrepreneurship in the Developing World, expounds on the subject and is slotted to be in publication by the end of 2012.
