I have flow with Matt on a few occasions, and have had great experiences with him..I have flow the route for over 40 years with Penn Air and also had great flights..But the weather is the beast on the Alaska Peninsula..Ive seen it go from real bad to a great sunny day in minutes, and reverse even faster..My concern is that Matt and Gerda are here today, it takes talent to be able to set an iced up plane down and walk away, so Thanks to Matt for that..Many of us shuddered when we heard because Gerdas father was lost in a similar situation in Dillingham years ago.. King Salmon Airforce Base is minutes away from location of this accident, I've asked before why not have a representation of the Coast Guard there, King Salmon on many days a year are available to fly, I know that Coast Guard has stopped there when thy could not get to Kodiak many planes have had to stop when Anchorage was not clear enough to land..King Salmon Airforce base has serviced the Cost Guard , so why not?
