Kevin, what is the story with the civilian Blackhawk helicopter?

Wow! I did not know SK would sell one civilian.
Cool flying and cool pic's, thanks for posting!
Flew a Cherokee 180 for .8 as mine is in getting some service work.
Probably purchased surplus. We're starting to see more and more of them in the Utility / Fire world...Originally Posted by G44
Awesome pictures! Wish I could get an impromptu of 12 folks together here on the East Coast!
Flat light Saturday
Last water of the year. Floats coming off next week. My Javron Cub was completed the end of May of 2015. I have 533 hours on it, and close to 400 on floats in Alaska. It's been a good run so far, and Lord willing, more to come.

Very Blessed.
Does wrenching on airport construction equipment count? My project actually went back together today as designed.
Resting now trying to figure out what I forgot
I don't know where you've been me lad, but I see you won first Prize!
We had 12 airplanes camp out on the Brazos River a few Saturday's ago.
Just my toy Aussie Chewy and I this weekend.
Fairbanks-Fort Yukon-Venetie-Arctic Village-Venetie-Fort Yukon-Fairbanks...
Did you see any of the "Last Alaskans" from the ANWR TV series on your trip?

I can't say that I've ever watched any of the "reality TV" shows made in Alaska. No cable/satellite TV at my place! I've known Heimo since he worked for Roger Dowding in the summer, I've flown him out of FYU many times...There are film crews in the N Fork of the Chandalar and Eagle that we fly around. The 'irk' brothers fly the crews into Heimo's place.

Ah, the scenic route...... And warm, too.

I got to tag along on a Fairbanks-Venetie-Arctic Village-Fairbanks run once. It was an interesting flight with low ceilings in Venetie and a pop-up IFR into Arctic Village.
Yeah no comms in Arctic, you need a thru clearance or a sat phone to operate there (IFR).
Went out a few miles East of town. Saw a few hundred elk and some deer. No really big bulls. After chasing the elk off, Landed at a friend's ranch strip and at another friends place nearer home. Been foggy but nice this A.M..
Landed a new LZ today. Interesting approach with three sets of low, medium and high power lines up river and it is at the base of a very tall bluff to the south which are our predominant winds here that makes for an interesting approach.

So is that the other side of the old “Over and Under?”Landed a new LZ today. Interesting approach with three sets of low, medium and high power lines up river and it is at the base of a very tall bluff to the south which are our predominant winds here that makes for an interesting approach.

Remember, These are the Good old Days!
Not sure which one you are referring to. It is directly west of town following the threes sets of transmission lines from the power plant on Lake Graham.

You live and learn. Although I have the scars to remind me, these wires are easy to see.

I think this is the one you are thinking of.

Not sure, All I remember was following SJ: OVER the pipeline then immiediately UNDER a biggish powerline and landing... hence the name.

That would be it.
Old naval aviators would need to forget their old habit of snagging the #3 wire....
Cessna Skywagon-- accept no substitute!
This is the one you are thinking of Kirby. Hard to see the single wire above the bridge piling. Lou knows where it is.

Flown under thousands (wires) getting paid. Not one for the hell of it.
Flown under thousands in my dreams. At least I am not usually nekkid. 18 landings today; never went anywhere.
I think that is common among pilots. Usually downtown somewhere. Strangely I haven't had it for a few years now.
