This Month's Program: Maine to Alaska in a Glasair Sportsman
Andy Roberts is joining us on Sunday, August 16. Andy is a member of our Chapter and in 2024 he spent a month flying his Glasair Sportsman solo, VFR, from Maine across Canada and all over the Yukon and Alaska. He had no itinerary and camped most nights. When he got home he wrote a 52-page Private Pilot Guide for First Time Flyers to Alaska, and he gives it away free to any pilot who wants it. His talk covers the routes north, what to bring, the procedures involved, what you should know about flying in Canada and Alaska, and what he learned the hard way. Come with questions — Andy has the answers most of us only read about!
Happy Anniversary
