A mouse in the woodwork told me that Jerry and Rae are on their adventure with a group of aviation pals. For the first timer to Alaska flying this is a great way to explore our most beautiful state. Having made a few single engine trips north ourselves we have and will in the future keep it a strictly VFR operation and will try and fly in the company of others. The beauty of the area would instantly become threatening if you couldn't see it. That said, we'll head our old Cessna north at the drop of John's Captains hat.
