And you call yourself an Alaska pilot....

We called those days whiskey fronts. Time to sit at home and drink whiskey.....

But once that back fired on us. Out in Kotz, weather was almost zero zero. And forecast to be that way all day. So by 10am all flights were cancelled and we went home for the day. In an hour we were in no condition to walk, much less fly. Then we heard an airplane fly over, out bound. We looked at each other, then I threw the curtain open, and what do I see..?? CAVU weather.....

The chief pilot called us and asked if we were in any condition to fly. Nope, not now..... CP says ok, I'll be there in a minute and join you....
