A nice PA-18 Super Cub on its way out for departure. This is a very common type in Alaska.
www.thearmorylife.com/flying-in-alaska-the-last-frontier/ In the article "Flying in Alaska — The Last Frontier" by Will Dabbs, MD, the author recounts his experiences as a soldier stationed in Alaska, highlighting the challenging yet rewarding aspects of the assignment. Dabbs describes the stark contrast between his expectations of a European post and the reality of being placed in the vast, cold wilderness of Alaska, where he flew CH-47D Chinook helicopters and served as operations officer and Aviation Liaison Officer for an infantry brigade. He reflects on the extreme weather conditions, the daunting tasks of air missions, and the stunning natural beauty of the Alaskan landscape. The author also shares anecdotes about wildlife encounters, such as narrowly avoiding a massive grizzly bear, and the demanding yet exhilarating tasks like high-altitude rescue missions. Despite the hardships and long deployments, Dabbs cherishes the unique experiences and lifelong friendships formed during his service in this remote, untamed environment.
A pilot, lit by sunlight, lands a single engine bush plane (Piper Super Cub, I think) on a small gravel road next to a sedge grass meadow frequented by Alaskan brown bears. Similar to British Columbia, in the rugged roadless terrain small planes (and boats) are the best way to reach remote areas. Alaska has 6 times as many pilots and 16 times as many aircraft per capita as the rest of the US. Lake Clark National Park.
