Seems like just the other day we were visiting up in OTZ FSS after I would get back from my days flights up the river. He was always super helpful at OTZ Radio, and an all around good guy. He will...

While I have no experience with the Oratex fabric, other than when Lars showed it to me at the AK Airmen's show last spring, I can say that I have known Lars for a number of years, and the guy is...

Sweet. Jim and Dot Magoffin were two of my favorite people in Aviation.

Thanks for all your work at Kotzebue Radio...we will miss ya.

If a guy were to come up to Alaska, my recommendation would be Clark Wiltz at Ganes Creek, outside McGrath. Could also go to the GPAA camp at the mouth of the Cripple, outside of Nome.

I would agree with Mike on the Crosswinds GW increase and the Crosswinds cargo door. I think the STC on that is for the PA14 only, Field Approval for the 12, based on the 14 STC. Extended baggage...

Wow. Howard 500. They knew how to make real airplanes back then. Beats the heck outta a Cirrus or Columbia.

If the guy can hack a little cold weather, I would recommend Francie at Tamarack Training Center in Fairbanks. Winters are generally clear and cold, and Fairbanks is always a lot of fun. Francie is...

Airport way? The yellow and blue one I am thinking of was on the East Ramp (University South). Was there the whole time I was at UAF. Last time I was in FAI, I think it was still there.

Been into Klery a few years back, went in to look at the dredge. Keeps a guy on his toes. Lisburne and Tin City can keep you busy Ramonzof as well. No new strip at Klery Creek. Gambell can keep...

Very nice. I have done a lot of fly in prospecting, and claim staking. The Cub has been an excellent support plane for early stage exploration. The 206 works great later on...hard to beat the big...

I am heading over to Anadyr tomorrow for a few hours in the 1900, dropping off a bunch of school kids for some cultural exchange. In the hundred or so times I have been over in the Russian far east...

Hardtailjohn,

well said. Their inspectors have a scary incredible amount discretion. At my last surface miner refresher last month, we were reminded that they can violate you for not putting...

Godspeed Joe. Ron what an awesome thing to do for his family.

Actually, I am thinking that it is a DC-3C, a converted C47. The double cargo door gives it away. The Super Gooney did have a taller tail, and a fuselage plug (forward of the wing, I think), fully...

Sheble's in Bullhead City. www.shebleaviation.com There is a decent casino/hotel a few miles away that has good rooms for about $25/night. I got my ATP there last spring. Fly one day, checkride...

They paved it in the last year or two. I can't remember. Cant remember, think they even paved the crosswind runway that they never show

John,
that looks like a good site.
Mike,
Some of the engines that I am familiar with would be mostly Fairbanks Morse, Washington Diesel, Western Gasoline, Buda, etc. Don't think it is any of...

I am not familiar with the former operation at craggie creek, but the style of motor is not so uncommon for that era. You see a lot of them on the early dredges. I like your picture of the pre...

Sweet. Looks like fun, Jay. Been perfect weather for it this week.

To be fair, the other side has been less than honest in their efforts to stop even the exploration project. In fact, I would say that they have been more misleading than the developers.

Remember...

I could not agree more. They offer a quality product, and excellent customer support. I would definitely go with them again.

I purchased a widebody fuselage from Airframes this past spring. While it was in ANC, I had them take it next door to Alaska Custom Cub, to fit it with a widebody boot cowl, epoxy prime it, and a...
