Flights available for March
Pilots are free to choose from any of the flights available at their assigned base which are first come, first serve.


As always, check the weather! If it's not safe to fly VFR, wait it out or fly another day. The mountains of southeast Alaska are littered with planes who's pilots chose not to wait only to find a wall of granite instead of the pass they expected.


It sometimes happens that a plane drops off a group at a cabin, and then is forced to return and wait with them because the ceilings have dropped. That is far better than having to send out the Coast Guard to find your wreakage the next day.


It's an old cliche but it's true: There are old pilots and there are bold pilots. But there are no Old, Bold pilots!
