Working folks can't take off an entire month just to spend half of it driving back & forth. Sad, that; I'd prefer to drive. And the moose will be back soon.<br /><br />WSF, that's true - and there are a lot of crash survivors up here. but sometimes the ground arrives before the pilot's ready for it.Rev.

F...Not knowing the facts, this is a generic remark. From my first lesson, the emphasis was to fly the airplane first, last, and always. The second, any off airport landing is probably survivable if you go in wings level, nose up. The killer is stall/spin. Fortunately, I've never had to find out personally.Well Seasoned Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670165728759453075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860897900615196454.post-11741521397156493472014-04-09T17:05:02.906-08:002014-04-09T17:05:02.906-08:00It would take an act of God for me to climb into a...It would take an act of God for me to climb into another aircraft...I mean it.

What's favorable in one spot can be impenetrable just around the next mountainside, or in the next valley.Rev.

I know there are infinitely more small planes flying around Alaska and all but down here the small planes seem to always find a place to land pretty quick.
