Call Sign 'Alaska' is an important read for anyone planning to fly as a pilot or as a passenger within the Great State of Alaska. Experiences are presented from a 'First Hand' point of view and reveal a side of Alaska that most have not seen and possibly never will. However, it only takes one incident or accident to end a promising career or vacation. You may have read Call Sign 'Iceman' based on my 11 years flying winter and summer there however this book picks up where that one left off and presents the more negative aspects of Alaska Aviation. Here you'll find situations, incidents and accidents where lives were lost that need to be learned from. For pilots their stories may implant some personal inner rules that if followed will hopefully keep you alive while you build your own Alaska experience. For travelers in this wilderness, you become more aware of your overall situation and better understand decisions that have to be made. For pilots that have not flown Alaska you may gain insight into the challenges there which may add to your own daily flying awareness.
