Description
This week I'm recording in Soldotna, Alaska, where I recently took a tour over this rugged landscape in a Cessna 185, piloted by Dustin Moore. Dustin works in the oil and gas industry, and is a bush pilot on the side. Alaska is enormous, 663,300 square miles, much of which is fairly untouched. With his float plane, Dustin has the opportunity to explore, hunt, and fish some incredible and remote places. In this episode we get into what it takes to become a bush pilot, the pros and cons of tires, skis, and floats, and some crazy stories about loosing large chucks of plane mid-air.
