In True Alaska Fashion

We are true recyclers or junk collectors, you choose which you think might best describe our habits. But keep in mind Alaskans do not value their wealth by the cost of the things that they own, but instead their wealth is based on the pure tonnage of their belongings. A man with tonnage is a rich man indeed.

A Nice Fall Day for a Fight

CRM ~ Cockpit Resource Management

Cockpit resource management looks good on paper but what if your resources are always a bit behind the power curve?  Some days its work... work... work!

C-46

N54514 was the first C-46 certificated on the 121 TFS certificate back in 1998. Maid in Japan was once owned by the Japanese, given to them by the U.S. as part of the assistance program after WWII.  It was later purchased by Cliff Everts and flown back across the Pacific to Alaska.  I think in the 1970's but don't quote me.  Today it flies fuel and cargo around this great state.

Beautiful Day for Flying

Does it get any better than a day spent out flying with a first class Captain?  I can think of no better way to occupy the day.  Happy Anniversary Captain Kenny!
