No doubt- needs and engine swap.

If you get to fbks for a bit give me a heads up Dennis. My pard has worked for everts air for near 40 years and is doing some side gigs working on smaller traditional aircraft. You two could probably understand each other. Me I just nod.


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.

Dennis, make sure you say hi to Jeff Meierotto and his wife Sheryl. She grew up there and they still keep at least one place there as well as their hanger and home in Two Rivers. I just spend a week with him on Kodiak and know he and Sheryl are up there now.

Jeff is Marty's brother and Steve is the third. they all live in Two Rivers on their own airstrip
And all three are highly competent individuals with equally competent spouses. Sheryl may have grown up in Bettles but she graduated from Harvard !

This just in -- a few pics of life in Bettles sent via snail mail on an SD card smile

I know some of you old Sourdoughs find aircraft and bush camp environs to be old hat, but forbear. Some of these pics are of a place called Wild Lake. That's where the laker was caught -- only fish of the day They were making a supply run to some miner on a claim there.
