Flying in Alaska is a Little Different

Alaska Jetwhine It’s nice to be the editor of an aviation blog like Jetwhine.com because I’m lucky enough to connect with people from all parts of the globe, folks I would never have a chance to meet in my everyday life. A few weeks back, Josh Saul sent me a note about his blog, wondering if I might go take a look. I look at every blog anyone sends me to, but honestly few are worth very much, I’ve found. Josh’s is different and pleasantly so.

Josh is the editor of Bush Pilots at the Alaska Dispatch. His is a blog you’re going to want to spend a little time with because airplanes in Alaska mean something totally different than they do down here in the Lower 48. Bush Pilot is full of original stories and video from pilots in the 49th state. The still photography is astounding and the videos are creative and insightful if not doggone funny. Take a look at this one with a Beaver taking off from a truck. Only in Alaska. Or this interesting arrival into Seward. Have any white-knuckled tales or pictures from your Alaska flying? Email Josh at jsaul(at)alaskadispatch.com. Tell the folks at the Alaska Dispatch that the folks down in the nice warm Midwest said hi while you’re there.
