Re: Trip to Alaska Floats & Skis (Don Lee)
Alaska is big, bigger then most imagine even. Master Moyle is 180 miles west of 5NK my home airport. I've run parts up to Mark a handful of times. It's a more wild edge of the world kind of place of unimaganble beauty. The flight is always different mostly because of the weather so one day it's a coastal trip another mountains snow rain fog double rainbows and the occasional ray of sunlight

Ha note it's IFR at Platnum!

I've been to AK F&S five times. Each visit was better than the last. It is wonderful to see someone else show the joy of having been there. My friend Larry Gourley and I are planning another trip around the first of May. We are going for the Airman's show and the STOL competition at Valdez.

Also made bunch of new friends. Clayton in my neck of the woods its hard to make friends. If you are not rich, don't fly 180, your really just nobody. Aviation has died lots here in Saskatchewan. Alberta other provinces seem to be doing well. That Said it really looks like Ontario is fighting for there airports, Engineers are scared to sign anything off as there is law suit after law suit. Hell I couldn't even find good tail wheel instructor in Western Canada that I could trust. Why went to Alaska.
