I have stayed over 60 nights at the Long House Alaskan Hotel in the past three years. It works out great when I am parked at Lake Hood Strip. Great price too. I would not like to lose that place.

Cloudy,
i learned to fly at Luck Field. It was a 172 though, N1057F. Landed at nearly all of the places that you named except Pylon. Haven't been to Sycamore in a while either. Good memories of all...
I've landed multiple times at that airport. In a Malibu Mirage, Cessna T310R and my Husky. Never found the runway so short as to crowd the threshold. We've had a decent South wind for the past few...
While I was enroute from Lake Hood to Granbury Texas, I had little to do other than peruse every page of my Garmin 530. One page I found was an Odometer with total miles and average ground speed. My...
I completed some training in Steve's Super Cub on floats. Instructor was a young man named Richard Wight. I passed two checkrides with Steve Williams in the last week. Single Engine Commercial,...
I took two float lessons yesterday off of Lake Hood. We went over near Big Lake in the morning and across the little SU in the afternoon. Great fun in a Cub on floats. Trying to get another lesson in...
Steve Williams, Acme Cub Training Specialist. Located in space 801 at Lake Hood. Steve has a Super Cub on wheels, another on floats and a C-180 on wheel skis. Steve is a DPE, he instructs and also...
I've used Byam at Meacham and been happy with the results.
I bought my 495 at Northern Avionics a couple of years ago. I bought the Topo CD and the biggest memory chip, can't remember the exact size, all of Alaska will not fit on the memory chip. I got about...
I don't use a bow, but I'm planning a grocery shopping trip too. Moose is on my grocery list.
I don't live in Alaska but do keep my plane there and frequent the area. I use a local CFI for annual flying tune ups. He is also a DPE, so he is thorough. He has gone over the frequencies with me...
I was at Yentna on the SU in lieu and met John. Cool Guy and humble too! He did a few take offs and landings on the island. Looked to me that his plane and skills would have been very competitive at...
Dave,
i must have just missed you at Gulkana. When I landed it was 120-16G32 and the runway is 15. I used the ski strip. Taxiing to the fuel pumps was a challenge! Once I left there it kept...
It was fun to meet several of you at Yentna-SU-in lieu! Not one of you poked fun at my Husky attending a Super Cub flyin!
Be safe and I hope to see y'all again soon..
I moved my Husky from the Lake Hood strip to Wolf Lake this afternoon. The Take off and landing distance would even have Super Cub guys envious! About 25' each! Wind was 20G32, but was nearly...
I will probably come visit in my Husky. Weather looks too iffy to go to Valdez.
Richard and Jeff Walker have been maintaining and taking care of my Husky for a couple of years now. They have been great to deal with. Lots of Integrity and Great Character. When you live 3500 miles...
I know the young pilot myself. I have flown in formation with him and his father, I have learned from his father and I will be doing so again next week. This past winter I was at their house where...
Dave,
I agree with you wholeheartedly. My Husky lives in Alaska, I live in Texas. I get to Alaska as much as possible, yet not enough to justify 100% ownership, but I own 100% of "MyAirplane " and I...

I put 3" extended PA-18 gear and AOSS on my Husky 3 years ago. Works great and no problems.
Dave,
It was great to meet you last week. I flew four days in my Husky with Steve Williams. First day was overcast, light snow and flat light. What a first day to learn skis! I had it figured for a...
Give Steve Williams at Acme Cub Training a call. You can google his blog site to learn more. He has a C-180 that he instructs in.
I just finished four straight days of ski flying in and around the Susitna Valley. This was my first ski flying experience. All of the information posted on this sight helped prepare me. Steve...
SpainCub, I saw enough bent Husky gear legs too not try much rough stuff with mine until I put AOSS and Cubcrafters 3" HD gear on. That being the case, I have worked mine pretty hard from time to...
