I can't think of one happy marriage that came of being desperate and then doing the right thing by her and her family...surely I may be wrong, but I didn't know of any...

Where was your avitar taken?

Er, they were just switching to that 4 letter stuff when I was up there-we used the 3 letter or PO designations (which weren't always the same)...how about another hint?

All my work was out of BET or DLG...DLG was nice, getting to go into town and buy beer and such was a real treat-plus having the pilot house to myself I even thought about bringing my wife up!

Then I got sent back to BET...yeah, baby! Hub of the Universe!

hehehehe...fishin was good though-even when it was bad it was still pretty good!

Cape Newenham! I flew photo missions over Sea Lions at the bases of the cliffs just SW of the airport.

Fun stuff! Just watch for birds...

 

[USCG-Kodiak]

Missing the north country!

I Spent 3 years flying C-130s for the Coast Guard out of Kodiak. The most thrilling flying I've ever done. I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could!

I've been back in the states for a few months, flying a shiny big turboprop with one o' them guys in the right seat... they call him a First Officer? Anyway, I'm about done with this 121 world, and ready to go back to AK. Not too terribly eager to go back to Emo or Bethel, but somewhere else would be nice. Anyone have a line on something turbine in a pretty place?
