Tougher in Alaska
Links to general aviation backcountry flying-oriented videos. It can be yours or stuff you find on the internet. Please no airline/military.
Has anyone been watching this show? There was some good footage of Super Cub flying in the clips that I watched. The host was on the Daily Show the other night.

Half a century spent proving “it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”
Hi Zane- Hadn't known about this show before now. A year ago our state actually hired a PR firm to try to save face from the Bridges to Nowhere fiasco. Wonder if this is what they came up with

I didn't have time to watch the entire show yesterday. Did they finally get that barge off the rocks? If so when? I flew by and took some video footage of one in about the same location this past June. Might be a different one as the one I saw looked like it had been there a long time but I didn't really pay much attention to it. Now I have to dig out the video camera and take a look see. Looks like another "Deadliest Catch" or a version of "Survivorman". Or "Iceroads" making a life threatening dissaster of having a flat tire... in town before breakfast. Amazing what they think of to make a tv program. At least this one has some great scenery and from what I watched, half way interesting. I'll be watching for more of it to come. I still think anything to do with the North Slope in Feburary is "Tougher in Alaska".

This is more realistic what the daily life is like there.
The big Mouth Dummy host is funny, he gets 20 feet up a tower, his knees shake and almost needed a crane to get him down....he he
But he salvaged when he worked on frozen sewer problems in -30.
I'd like to fly back and snoop around fishing rivers.
We have more fun doing that than a 50 year old boat out of the Spit in homer for halibut.
happy day

The next installment can feature how it's tougher being a senior U.S. senator in Alaska...

So which boo-boo is bigger Bridges to Nowhere or the Stevens Debacle ?
Or is it too early to tell ?
Maybe Teddy should be hosting survivorman...
