Don`t think this was the same guy. Was at the southern end of the airport. Aero Tech is the name. Good folks to work for. 5 days on, 2 days on. Lots of students, and time to uhhh see the sights and stuff. Had a couple of trips out to Northway, Kodia and Illiamna
, but that`s not what you can call the bush regarding airports. Oh yeah, was at King Salmon once. Had my IFR students tracking AM radio stations since the published NDB approaches were too far away from Merrill
. Had a near mdi-air with an MD11 who thought he was on final to PANC, but was actually on final to Elmendorff
, heard one plane`s last transmission before disaster in a mountain pass (was due to lowering cloudbase, and there was probably not enough room to turn around in there - sickening feeling
), had an electrical fire onboard (interesting) and got cought by unexpected WX twice. And those were the good days
. Not flyingwise, but experiencewise.
As TD says, AK is still there. But head way out west or up north and they might not ask too many Qs
