Eagle Sarmont has always been captivated by the spirit of flight. From the first spark of curiosity as a child to bold transatlantic attempts as an adult, aviation has been more than a hobby — it’s been a calling. A visionary engineer by trade, he spent his career pushing the boundaries of aerospace, but his true passion has always been the journey itself.

New York to Paris is the story of that calling. In these pages, the author shares not only the adventure itself but the mindset, faith, and persistence that kept the dream alive through decades of challenge and change.

Questions and Answers

We have answers to your questions about the book and the journey.

About the Journey

What was the most dangerous moment of the journey?

During a high-altitude test flight in his custom-built aircraft, the engine began to critically overheat, forcing a harrowing emergency descent where a piston nearly burned through—a failure that would have been catastrophic over the icy Atlantic.

The dream began decades before the flight. The specific trans-Atlantic route was planned to minimize risk by breaking the journey into shorter legs over land and sea, connecting New York to Paris via Canada, Greenland, Iceland, and Scotland.

The aircraft was modified to carry extra fuel, and essential equipment included a GPS navigation system, a radio, camping supplies for remote landings, and critical survival gear for the over-water legs.

Weather was a constant factor. Favorable tailwinds were crucial for extending the aircraft’s range, while developing storm systems and turbulence from rising thermals often dictated the day’s route and when it was time to land.
