Yesterday did a 50 h inspection and oil change. Dave, the floatplane pilot helped with his equipment, he is there when needed.
The weather in Alaska is restricting my plans as well as Craig´s and John`s plans. We all wanted to explore some of the southern Alaskan sites but gave up - too long to wait for good weather. Tomorrow I will look into Talkeetna again but on Friday I think I head towards the south, just east of the weather.
Anyhow today we were all unsure what to do, I joined Craig and John, headed south to have a look and just wanted to fly somewhere. We did a 3-ship formation, roamed around and finally landed for a rest in Healy, then returned to Fairbanks. After landing I noticed my tailwheel steering is acting up just as many times before when the grease was pushed out the shaft and things got dry. But this time the steering link broke as I realized after I got out of the plane. I do have a spare - of course back home!
Takeoff in Fairbanks
Craig and John in Healy - and our planes of course
If only the steering link breaks I´m ok with it.
