Many moons ago I spent a summer in Galena. I was part of a BLM firefighting squad that utilized a Huey Helicopter flying out of Galena. Galena is an indian village on the banks of the Yukon River out in the middle of the Alaskan bush. It has a Air Force runway that had two Phantom fighters based there back then. Saw a firefighting B-25 make a belly landing when I was there. Ah,...memories...

I used to go to Galena all the time when I was stationed at Elmendorf for NORAD alerts. I'd say I probably have a total of 6 months time there, typically a couple weeks at a time. Longest trip was about 2 months.

I went to Galena with Tadpole. Great food in the chow hall.

Agree about the chow hall. Not bad and they were always very accommodating. Been since spring 2008 that I was there.

Watch out for the one arm bandit in the bar, he gets angry after a few drinks! And no, it's not a slot machine, but a native with one arm.

I though the air base was completely decommissioned? Still a nice little town. Easy flying distance from Fairbanks.

Was just there twice earlier this month while visiting M6RV6 in Nulato...and the funny thing is I had coffee with the pilot currently holding this position...wonder if they're adding a new pilot or if Darren is going else where?? Anyhow, they have a heck of a nice cub...saw it parked on the narrow inlet east of the runway.

Hey Tundra
Hope your havin fun!
Took Victors little Yellow bird up last Sunday, Nice to bee in the air again!!
Darrel is State, these guys are adding a fed position for the Federal Fish & Feathers. They have some federal wildlife preserves in the area.
Did you ever receive anything from Skagway?
I'm still waiting, Mail is sure something sometimes, I can get something from Juneau the next day and it takes a week to get something from Fairbanks??

PS Don't know if you know the folks at Scoop Lake, but Wendy had a pretty bad horse wreck.
I hope that doesn't mean that Darwin is cooking now!!!!

The HQ for the Koyukuk and Nowitna National Wildlife refuges are in Galena.
