I started flying in Bush Alaska early on, but needed a few hours of “Alaska Time” to satisfy the insurance companies. Got that by instructing in Anchorage, then out to the Eskimo villages to fly Air Taxi in single engine planes, C-207, C-185. Lots of flying summer and winter, day and night. Sometimes 140 hours per month, no autopilot. Short strips, heavy loads and lots of crosswinds. Good flying school it is.
Need a work permit up there: Marry an Eskimo girl, go all the way.
Good luck
