Has anyone flown with Wright Air Service out of Fairbanks? Thinking of using them for bush pilot on a moose hunt 2016.

I chartered a flight with Wright air a few years ago and would hire them again in a heartbeat. They also have freezer space available for their clients.

Bob has very good pilots, planes that are well maintained and service above many. As one noted......a lot of freezer space.

Flown with them many times, including moose last fall. One of the best in the state.

my experiences with Wrights mirror others.
last year docdb used them to go sheep hunting with Dave Marsh.
he got bumped a flight, but everything pretty smooth after that IIRC.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Used them last year to fly into the Alaska Range on a Dall sheep hunt with Mike Colpo. Good outfit. Everything in Alaska depends on the weather however, especially flying.
