Here is a tip for a quick, short outing in Fairbanks. Most of us in Fairbanks only need to drive a few short miles from our own back yard. If you happen to be a float plane pilot you will get a kick out of it. In fact, you will believe that you have reached Nirvana. July 7th was the perfect day for me to swing by the float pond. Fairbanks International has a handful of ponds within its boundaries. Out of curiosity, I stumbled upon this one. Just south of the Mitchell expressway, from University Avenue, turn west on Float Pond Road. The float pond is dotted with dozens of treasures. There is even a campground for pilots who remember to pack a pup tent. I will show more float planes to you later.
