Took a trip to the big city of Juneau and on the return a young fellow beat me to the plane to ride shotgun, but I took it like a man and crawled into the back. On the westward flight we leveled out at 2000 ft even. It was a spotlesly clear day and I was looking down to spot whales. About half way home something got my attention at about 2:Oclock in front of us also at 2000 ft. I turned and looked but saw nothing, so I went back to whale watching. And then it was there again. This time I continued to stare untill a spot started taking shape. It turned into the shape of a single engine piper. This piper was not flying across our pattern, which would have gotten our attention much quicker but was actually headed straight for us so he appeared to simply grow very subtly. When I recognized I was about to become fish food I reached forward and popped the pilot on the shoulder and pointed. In that astoundingly fast moment the pilot firewalled the yoke and down we shot. If not for seat belts we would all have been pressed to the ceiling. That brown piper never twitched a control. He never knew we were even there. So we leveled out and continued on to Hoonah. Upon landing, the pilot came around and patted me profusely, thanking me several times. The next day the Wings of Alaska agent knocked on my door to present me with a free ticket to Juneau.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002968705989988807.post-14538668374069390292013-12-12T12:31:46.475-07:002013-12-12T12:31:46.475-07:00RIP Mr Wilson, your flight with him would be speci...RIP Mr Wilson, your flight with him would be special when he still alive.TrustPrice MS Office full licensed copyhttp://www.trustprice.com/products/sc-1434/microsoft-office-download.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002968705989988807.post-14583931295395361562013-11-08T23:54:21.368-07:002013-11-08T23:54:21.368-07:00I suppose this the best trip to experience the wat...I suppose this the best trip to experience the water, untamed life, scene, camraderie, and individuals of Alaska!nride in a kayak, get up close and particular with an excellent ice sheet, outing outside, ride on a <br />brilliant glass encased pontoon over the fjords with a neighborhood naturalist calling attention to hawks, seals, whales, and waterfalls.Skagway Best Discount Tours M&Mhttp://www.skagwayadventures.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002968705989988807.post-54537652634147782502013-06-10T12:58:35.489-07:002013-06-10T12:58:35.489-07:00Thank you so much, Dave!

I'm glad you learned not to rely on your GPS. That's one thing worrying me a bit these days--that new pilots are relying WAY too much on their high-tech nav gear to guide them. We must always remember to get back to basics! And, frankly, no plane is as high-tech as my Airbus. I've got to remind myself occasionally to "turn off the magic" and fly by stick and rudder once in awhile to stay frosty!capnauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020957375172560992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002968705989988807.post-38410156733266429142013-06-06T07:34:04.390-07:002013-06-06T07:34:04.390-07:00Haha, based on what you said and your handle, Wart...Haha, based on what you said and your handle, Warthog02, I'm guessing you've got some tall tales to tell from the pilot seat of a Warthog?!

It was MVFR at most, and I had my (luxurious) GPS flag on me on my way back to Oakland/Troy airport. I have never allowed myself to rely on GPS again. Always a backup.<br /><br />But I can't even imagine flying at 300' AGL just to survive - and I'll be honest - I hope I never have to experience it myself!<br /><br />Thanks for the vivid story, Cap'n Aux!Andrew Hartleyhttp://www.smartflighttraining.com/announcing-blogging-in-formation/noreply@blogger.com
