They’re On And They’re Off

June 28, 2012

The weather allowed some flying yesterday.  Mike Hamill was able to fly off with his team and Greg Vernovage was able to fly on with his.  Nice for everyone.  Mike’s team will be anxious to get cleaned up and celebrate their success while Greg’s team is anxious to get to the project at hand.

Ready to go!
Mike and Greg pass each other in the international terminal at Talkeetna Air Taxi

Even if weather isn’t perfect, it’s normally quite possible to travel down low in marginal weather.  That’s important.  If you only move during perfect weather, you’re going to need either to be incredibly patient or incredibly lucky.  Better to move when you can and put yourself in position to take advantage of that good luck when it’s needed up high.
