Its changed a lot. Whenever I go home I never recognize any of the pilots.Congrats dude. I cut my teeth in Juneau. One of the best flying jobs I've had. I'd be curious to know if some of the locals are still there.
That’s cause you’re getting old!Its changed a lot. Whenever I go home I never recognize any of the pilots.
Well thats also true! It seemed like growing up it was the same pilots for years. Including one guy that reminds me of Santa Claus. I am sure @Roger Roger and @Nark know who I am referring to.That’s cause you’re getting old!
I’m pretty sure when the glaciers first melted out of Lynn Canal Sam Wright and his Bonanza were already there.Well thats also true! It seemed like growing up it was the same pilots for years.

He is still in the area. Not sure if he retired recently or not.Is he still there? Still have is ‘bo?
Hahahaha true.I’m pretty sure when the glaciers first melted out of Lynn Canal Sam Wright and his Bonanza were already there.
He’s still working for wings airways, I see his bonanza come and go from their hangar when I’m killing time practicing disc golf at work. Not sure if he’s just wrenching in the off season or if he’ll be flying the otters again this summer.He is still in the area. Not sure if he retired recently or not.
Good to know! He is a characterHe’s still working for wings airways, I see his bonanza come and go from their hangar when I’m killing time practicing disc golf at work. Not sure if he’s just wrenching in the off season or if he’ll be flying the otters again this summer.
I’ll still buy ya a beer if our schedules line up. If not, just be careful of LP and maybe I’ll see you at the start of season party.Happy to say my trip was a success. Timing was late for some, but good for others. I interviewed in a Beaver in Ketchikan and got a walk in interview in a 207 in Juneau. As of tonight I accepted the job in Juneau. I’m very excited, but now the hard part begins. I need to be there in 3 weeks, and it’s over a week to drive. Better get moving!
That would be cool. Let me know when you're in town. Doing flight training this week and IOE next. Could use some local insight!I’ll still buy ya a beer if our schedules line up. If not, just be careful of LP and maybe I’ll see you at the start of season party.
