Trip to Anchorage on April 28

HI all
Have been just about swamped with my personnel BS.
But besides that I am headed to Anchorage on the 28th of April and will have a seat open in a KI Seneca 11 that is going North with me.
Weather permitting, My Brother and I will be leaving 63S or Colville and flying to Ketchikan KTN for fuel(4.5hrs) and then on to Yakutat YAK (2.5hrs)and stop for the night.
Next morning to Cordova CKU (1:15)and then on to Anchorage(1hr).
Will be attending the Show in Anchorage and with any luck at all head to Valdez the next weekend.
You will have to pay your own grub and room, and way home if you need as I wont be coming back till this fall.
If anyone has something they need to have north let me know, I will have a little extra room.

Will you be bringing the plane back this fall?? If so, I might be interested in a return flight if I have time and money.

For those of you who have never flown north, this is a damn good deal, and will be a fun trip. And for you guys just starting out in the backwoods flying, you'd learn a hell of a lot just watching those old farts do their thing!

I hope to have my plane finished with its annual and ready by then, if so I will probably be at the show either Saturday or Sunday and I would sure like to say howdy to some folks there :P

Hey George,
I hear you about staying busy! But, the annual is done, the bi-annual is in the log book and the medical is done. Just packed the plane, and hopefully [-o< the weather will cooperate.

Wish i could head up with you, but the old bug-smasher flys alot slower than that Seneca you'll be flying. Might be able to catch the trade show if the weather cooperates.


Should be starting on my way up this Sunday, and here's what the route is looking like;

Sunday: Bridgeport, TX-Scott City KS
Monday: Scott City - Lethbridge, Alberta (Planning to be at Laural, MT about Lunchtime)
Tuesday: Lethbridge to Whitecourt and up the highway to Whitehorse
Wednesday: Whitehorse to Fairbanks, maybe on to White Mountain.

All subject to change due to weather of course :roll:
