Visitors are Welcome: Jim Griset

Jim came all the way to Fairbanks July 26th. Jim is a friend of ours from Prescott Arizona. He received his private pilot's license through David. He also lives in Southern California part-time. A visit here isn't complete, until we drive out the Steese Highway to show the famous pipeline.

Wait... in a few minutes these guys will know enough to build one of their own.

One of the highlights of Jim's trip was to make it to the North Pole. That is North Pole, AK a 45 minute trip slightly to the south of Fairbanks. Jim still believes.

Jim was lucky enough to be here the day the Fairchild came to Fairbanks. However, he was not lucky enough to go on a flight. It rained Moose & Dall Sheep 30 minutes after this photo was taken.

An ominous summer's stormy sky hovered over Fairbanks as David taxied  in. She was flown all the way from Ohio, a harrowing and exhausting trip. The white buildings in the background are the UAF campus.
