Subject: RE: BS: Waaaaay UP! To Alaska....
Like your story, robo. Mind you, I'm glad he is not in my family or in my circle of friends.
I love flying in those little planes, especially the float planes. The wheeled planes grind when they land but the pontoon planes just kind of swooooosh and push against the water. And I like the fact that when they leave the water they raise one side of the plane in order to break free of the skin of the water.
Had I come to Alaska, say, 20 years earlier, I know that I'd have a pilot's license. Probably wouldn't have my own plane but I would definitely have a license to fly.
