ALASKA 2011 Air Adventure

 

Pilots & Crew   04/29/2010

 

The dates are now set for the 2011 Alaska trip.

We will all start heading for Bellingham, Wa. on June 17th ( Friday ) 2011 and return home around July 4th ( Monday ).

This will give everyone over a year to plan the time off for the greatest flying adventure of your life. NO KIDDING !!!

The last 2 trips we have made have been fantastic. This time of year we have always seemed to have almost perfect weather going up and coming home.

Keep your fingers crossed for great weather on our third trip to Alaska in 2011. We are planning on meeting all aircraft in our starting point, Bellingham, Wa. on June 19th Sunday. The flight will depart for Alaska on Monday morning for the leg up to Ketchikan, Alaska ( This leg over flies Canadian Air Space so we don't have to pay all the Canadian fees and go thru customs.) .

The plan is to work out of a central camp at Wolf Lake ( north west of Anchorage ) for the majority of the vacation. Keith Phillips will try and arrange cabins for us to use during the stay at Wolf Lake. This should give him almost a year to keep telling me that he is FIXIN to call about those cabins up at Wolf Lake.

I hope the crews will start looking at Day Trips we can take out of Wolf Lake. Over night trips out of our base camp are also on the table and remember, the whole group does not have to go on every outing. If you want to spend most of your vacation napping on the porch at Wolf Lake ( Jim Vitale ) that's OK .

You can't see but a small part of this great state in just one trip, that's why we are going again !!!

 

Please send all suggestions to me at this e-mail address. I will post other up-dates to all on my Alaska e-mail list as they become available.
