I had forgotten about this thread and wanted to thank folks for their inputs. We’re searching in earnest down on the Kenai but still considering most anything. Looking forward to full time or at...

Different agencies for me, but same system. So glad I’m retired now. Yes - got to play with all kinds of cool “toys,” but don’t miss the bureaucratic morass one bit!

You are throwing the "wilderness baby" out with the "urban bathwater," and you've given poor advice for many aviators who travel +2 hrs from definitive care. It's forgivable, though, as many of us...

Great to learn more about you, Bill. Thanks to both of you.
(and Steve - love the "opened a bar" analogy!)

This is interesting.
I had a hard time getting consistent, uninterrupted calls with my 9555 last season at Kulik. Wonder how the older phone would have done. Perhaps I need to stow an aux antenna...

Anyone know about getting permission to land there?

Love the stenciling!
