Pay attention to the Wx.  Low ceilings, mist and fog are common.  Have fun hauling cruiseboat tourists.

Congrats on getting paid to fly.

Have fun, learn lots, fly safe, and don't put off planning/making arangements for employment during the off-season (I recommend somewhere down here in the lower 48  :aok).

Nice!

I actually just bought a plane ticket to Juneau yesterday! I'll be fishing out of Hoonah, AK for the next seven months. If we both happen to have a day off, I'll buy the beers if you bring the plane.  ;) :cheers: :airplane:

Great, look forward to seeing you on some reality show, complete with dramatic music, you looking nervous and the wrong engine noise dubbed onto the video!

It'll be some of the best flying you'll ever do. Enjoy it! Real bush flying, short narrow strips, screaming crosswinds, screaming passengers and crazy weather. Not a bit like Texas. If the TV crews don't appear. Get yourself a Go Pro and video as much as you can and post it here.

I'm going to do video as much as I can this year. Our skydive season starts next week. Although I'm about to stop flying out of short, narrow and soft strips and move into a proper paved airport, five minutes drive from my house!  I'll be dumping skydivers directly over my home!
