I've been reading about airport sponsorship potentially changing hands at Birchwood, and scuttlebutt about a growing internal desire for the State to abdicate responsibility for some airports in a push for shrinking government or perhaps in response to shrinking budgets. Whatever the reasons, it certainly gives pause for thought.
We're moving to AK for the warmer months. In doing that, I like the idea of basing out of an airport that is likely to stay under control of avid aviators and folks with vested interests.
Q: If a land-based Skywagon was to be hangared somewhere that was reasonably free from the controversy of being managed by an indifferent and perhaps even antagonistic ruling body, and is a decent location from which to explore/fish/hunt/aviate, where would that be?
Instrument approaches are preferred, but not required. Being part of a community that has families with kids is a good thing (we have a 12 y/o), as is being able to land on grass for much of the season to preserve bush tires.
Thanks,
Johnny
