Passenger Of The Day

This is Brandy. She spends part of her summer out on Lake Clark.  
            Today it really felt like summer here in Anchorage, so on the way to catch her flight with us she grabbed some yummy milkshakes to share with the LPA staff! SO GOOD!
Thanks for your thoughtfulness Brandy!

Busy Busy

Sometimes we're surprised by the amount of activity that happens on, over and around Merrill Field.

Passenger Of The Day!

This is Patrick. He's from Virginia. He just got back from fishing in Lake Clark, and I'm pretty sure his favorite personal belonging was his new LPA hat.  (personally we really like that backpack too)
Now he just needs a hat for his head.

T-6, Zero & A Medivac

A guy named Chuck keeps his cool airplane collection in a hangar right next to LPA's. Today he brought one of his T-6's (his other one is yellow) for some fuel. He was getting ready to do some practice moves for the air show next weekend. Laura snuck out to the pumps for a photo. 
This is a Zero - a Japanese bomber plane that was used against Pearl Harbor.  There are only three of them in the USA. The cockpit holds just one person.
This is another oldie, but goodie. At one time it was used for Medivac flights.
If you want to know more, google it.
We love working on an airfield! You never know what kind of amazing aircraft you'll see.

Salmon BBQ

Yesterday Brian flew Norm and his son Ben to Iliamna so they could go salmon fishing in the Newhalen River. Today they brought in a couple of the super fresh filets to share with everyone.
During the BBQ someone noticed the cool clouds in the sky.
They looked like someone was shining a powerful flashlight on a frozen pond.

Missing Something?

Well 16-Eyes here may have that missing item of yours in her two-toned hot hands.  

Look closely because what you lost she has found, and she's waiting for your call saying you'll come retrieve it.  ***But she's only going to wait until August 31st.***
Then she'll be calling 1-800-GOT-JUNK.
