Haha "Old school"...that's what the crotch rocketeers say to me when I roll up on my loud and obnoxious Harley. :D

Alex GREAT article, and well written! Sad for me as well, I remember that base from early childhood; as well as spending many hours there waiting on our "Bird" for transport when I was in the...

Well said Tango. So let's do something about it.

Thanks Dozer for your response and for your service.

Dozerf22,

Definitely keep it up, as I said before your comments are informative and helpful. And I think you misunderstood my comment, I was in the Marine Corps Reserve 8 years myself so I support...

Dozerf22 thank you very much for your comments and insight. Very helpful. I never check on the western Alaska MOA status, and I fly out there full time for a living; not only is there limited ways to...

No Dave, you are not the only one! :)
Just this winter during annual my Steve's Gascolator O-ring got cut accidentally reinstalling the bowl and it leaked for the first time in the 5 years since...

I've seen many times evidence of cops and undercover cops fringing on "entrapment" in order to bring charges against suspects; for example, cops that had infiltrated an outlaw biker gang and were...

S2D, Kind of funny, powder everywhere...but Man that's never happened to me but (especially in a lever action) I'm thinking that would SUCK! Did you have any problems firing those bullets? Curious...

I got my ATP a few years ago, thought I needed it. I fly for a living, and don't need it, though at my age it could still come in handy some day.

For people that REALLY fly, ratings don't make a...

Bummer, wonder how that happens in a -22.
Hey Stewart B. I sent you a PM...:)

I have not seemed to be able to make it anyway the last several years because of spring bear hunts.
But when something all of us in Alaska have wanted for a long time (since the Gulkana Airshow...

BEST all-around Dall sheep recipe in Alaska:

1. Fly your supercub to or get dropped off in a sheep camp, preferably at the 3,000 foot and higher level.

2. Eat mountain house freeze-dried food...

Hey Torch, yeah it was a strange set, if it would have grown proportionate to it's brow tines it could have perhaps been mid-80's, and measured widthwise from the brow tines it was I think 70+.
It...

One of the 4 moose we harvested this year, this one had the most points but was the smallest spread at 62" (or 64", I can't remember). Happy hunters so a pretty good season.

Don't read this post.

Dave,

Were you flying that Cub yesterday landing West at LHD while I was taxiing out in the Beaver and I said, "Beautiful Cub"'???

And then the girl in the very pretty blue and black cub said,...

Skup,

A different one, parked on the other side of me.

RB

Heard about it last night, heard who it might be and then flew over the crash this morning in the beaver. The guy had a tie down just next to me at LHD strip, talked to him several times at length,...

Wow, I can't believe that got helicoptered out...A new prop and some gear weldage and I would've happily flown that out anywhere! Why spend thousands on a helicopter when an awesome mechanic perhaps...

So a friend of mine that lives remote called yesterday on the sat phone and asked me what I knew about a TFR in Anchorage, and he says, "What's that thing for, someone important coming to town?" I...

Slowmover,

That's funny, just a couple weeks ago it seems, that Cub moved in to the parking space just next to mine at Lake Hood strip! And the guy that bought it from you is just like you said,...

I had dinner with an old friend the other day whose father started a town on Lake Clark and he made a GREAT Point which he made to the Director of Parks in AK:

If the US F&WS, US Park Service, US...

That looked VERY cool from the dock at work...the coolest part was all the landing lights against the mountain all winking so far away.

Atlee would have enjoyed that, I couldn't help but think of...

Cubs DO Weathervane!
Just stick your favorite Cub on a pole, attach it thereon with good ballbearings and a good bit of grease and lubricant, and when the wind blows, Voila'! You have your new...

Kinda hard to believe WB is really gone. Just heard him on point 9 a couple days ago too, wish I'd have said hello. :cry:
