David R Evans, 02-04-07, YHID-YPGV,
255, bgak015, c-130 Herk, For this section I was going to need an aircraft with
endurance,speed,and most imporantly autopilot.Deprarted Horn Island with hopes
WE would not be needed and figured the slowest airship would need 4 hours to be
safely in range of land based rescue,equiped with 4 zodiak motor raft to be air
droped and 4 volunter rescue swimmers,who thought warm Austrailan summer would
be better than diving into the Bearing Sea,started flying and oval pattern
turning at points 150Nm off shore of bothYHID_YPGV.

250, bgak015, Dhc-3 otter pzl, Had to take 9 passengers and mail to PABT so
took out the seats but one, threw in some straw,then let the owner load his
sled dogs and himself for the long haul.Has to catch a flight to the lower 48
for a race in Colorado,must have hit gold to afford this trip.The pzl mod sure
is an improvement when it comes to climbing out with a full load and amphibious
floats.the dogs were a little nervios at first but settled in,the musher white
knugled it all the way.
