Follow the adventures of four aviators as they wind their way to the Far North of Alaska. On June 10, 2005, these four pilots will join up at the annual Cameron Park Kitfox Fly-in in California to begin their trip north. They will join another group of Kitfoxes, also departing the fly-in, going to Cavanaugh Bay on Priest Lake in northern Idaho. Alter leaving Cavanaugh Bay, the group will cross into Canada and work their way up the “Trench” toward Watson Lake, B.C., with a probable side trip to Skagway, Alaska. They will then generally follow the Yukon River from its headwaters to Dawson City, Yukon Territory, and cross into Alaska. They hope to reach Deadhorse and Barrow, with a few stops at some hot springs, and end up in Nome. From Nome, they’ll follow the famous Iditarod Trial to Anchorage. Alter exploring south central Alaska, its home via the Alaska Highway and other points south back to the Lower Forty-eight. Look for pictures of some big fish and stories of other “big ones that got away” from this group over the next four weeks. The Skystar Kitfox is a lightweight 2 passenger experimental aircraft. They are hand-built by individuals just like you just for fun-flying.In June of 2002 a similar trip was extremely interesting and also documented on the web. See it here. This web site will be updated frequently with news and information about the trip. As the trip progresses, we will post photos and real-time messages from members actually flying with the group. Prior to their departure, the trip information messages will be updated frequently. Please check in often to see how we are doing!
