Talkeetna day trip with a Denali flight with Talkeetna air taxi, Day trip to Seward with sealife boat trip (If train is running 1st class view car is Great!!) Save any in town stuff for when the wife is done with planes, she can shop while you stay at show. Make forum members take you out for local flights. What dates are you in town.
DENNY

Yep, you gotta make a Glacier landing w/Talkeetna Air Taxi (great folks) Seward is a must see, as well !!!

Re: 2018 Great Alaska Aviation Gathering!

I might be able to make it this year, finally!

Are there any BCPers staying at places other than the Lakefront? I can't make a reservation until I get confirmation on something else and I'm afraid I might lose the room I was going to book - their cancellation policy is serious! *NO* cancellations... sheesh.

Well. I guess that's 3 shirts I don't have to pack now... :D I suspect the beer spilling was going to happen anyway, but at least we've got an excuse now! Bummed we won't see you.
