Air Tourists Fly Half Million
Safe Miles In Visiting Alaska
The ease and safety with which
some 200 people in 113 planes
recently made three flying tours
to and in Alaska has emphasized
the opportunity for this kind of
touring of the 49th state.
The Flying Physicians, in 58
planes, the 49er Air Cruisers in 22
and the Flying Farmers in 33 flew
up the Alaska highway during
June, scattered about Alaska in
both individual and organized
flights, and all got home again with
no accidents, and only three minor
incidents due to weather.
These 113 planes flew an esti
mated 650,000 plane miles without
accident, and their pilots were
men and women of widely-varied
experience. The Flying Farmers
ran into weather as they passed
Fort Nelson in the Yukon Terri
tory going both ways, but exper
ienced only a slight delay. Four
of them landed on the highway,
waited for an unprecedented cold
front to pass by, and then went
on to their next scheduled stop.
The Physicians had a similar wea
ther encounter on the Canadian
stretch of the highway, but it did
no more than divide the large
group into several smaller ones.
The 49ers, flying as a group, with
well-planned itinerary and safety
precautions, had no problems.
While in Alaska, members of
the various groups made many side
trips, which included fishing spots
near Anchorage, Homer and the
Kenai; one of the 49er Air Cruiser
party flew to Juneau for the 4th
ef July celebration.
FAA officials, who had issued
the visiting pilots information on
flying to and in Alaska, prior to
their entry, said the flights demon
strated that getting to Alaska by
small plane presents no problem.
“All a visiting pilot needs is the
proper respect for safety rules,
good equiment and ability to fly
his plane,” according to Allen D.
Hulen. Regional Administrator of
the FAA in Anchorage.
