I just found out I'm busy the AM of the 16th but I think I could still make a push to pick it up if things work out for then. The car is pretty much road trip ready when ever the banner calls.

I couldnt not... so when I got the banner back from Caitlyn (AK907girl) I passed the banner back to Jeff (crbnunit) for what I believe will be an amazing pictorial flight. Reckon they are in Cordova as I post and hope they had the big fat bacon cheeseburger n beer at my friend Chis's while in McCarthy.

This.

Then if things go right Jeff and I will fly it over to the border the following weekend. Hopefully to Mountain Mike... time will tell.

Nope. Didn't happen. The Tahneta Pass was closed all weekend with weather. The guy I was going with just squeeked through on Friday evening but I was about an hour late and the window had closed. Trisha and I flew out the Bold strip on Lake Eklutna and spent last night just to get out of Anchorage and damn near didn't make it back out of there this afternoon. Frigging weather! Did I take a single picture of the banner at Bold? No. It was there! Even had it out if its tube once. Still no PIC!!! Not done yet though. Lots of flying time left!

There are old pilots and bold pilots, no such thing as an old, bold pilot. Glad you n Trish back bro.

Kirk, it's gotta go TO Vancouver from Calgary... There's really no logistical way for it to get to Vancouver any other way... Additionally, nowhere to go from here but back north through Edmonton, then where? Back to Alaska? As terrible as it sounds, from northern bc, into northern Alberta, then southern Alberta, then southern bc, then the land of the *sigh* yankee doodles...

I am so confused now... Hahaha But yeah the weather was horrible for this weekend. Grrr..

 

[crbnunit]

Here are some pic of where the banner went this last weekend. Not the same trip but the weather (at its worst in these pics) was about the same...

Planning to fly it back up there this coming weekend as it is only a 30 minute flight and then on out to Knik for some monster glacier action!
