One member of the family was flying a 207 back to Kotzebue a 'few' years back when a rod let go and "perforated" the side of a jug. Windshield was somewhat obscured
by the oil wash that commenced. He decided to turn around and head back to the vil since he was still farther from Kotz....until he realized the Red Dog haul road was an even better option. He followed that until his oil pressure started to decline, then landed on it. Since it was a commercial flight, he had to insist that his passengers return to their seats to pray - if they wished to continue- rather than kneel as a couple of them were. Not his first rodeo; I never had any interest in driving airplanes.
