Our final day together started off like most others, wake up, grab a cup of coffee, stare at some sort of incredible view, say some sort of “see ya later” to someone, and hop in the airplane. Well, this was kinda close. We woke up in Greybull, WY to a view that made me feel…

Just like the good ‘ol Dr Seuss book, life puts you in many interesting places. Friday was the first day we stayed put for over 24 hours. Absolutely nothing wrong with that! The day took us on a quick flight to Telkeetna, a town north of Anchorage for a late breakfast at the “Road House.”…

Life is nothing without the friends you have in it. You can do some amazing things in life, but if you don’t have anyone to share them with, what fun would that be? Our adventure took us through Dillingham (a small fishing village) where we met up with an old friend from Iowa – Travis….
Beautiful Desolation
We broke out of the clouds about 3 miles out on final for Barrow airport, to what we can only call a village in the middle of beautiful desolation. Arriving at the airport, there is no FBO, so we parked next to the FAA building housing the one “controller” for Barrow Radio. No number for…
