Excerpt from Alaska Review 17. In this segment, Alaska Review reports on airplane safety in Alaska and concerns over rising aviation accident rates. Those interviewed include: pilot Jack Swaim of Ketchikan; helicopter pilot Jim Isabelle of Teller; an unidentified pilot; Carl Jorwitz, tower chief at Anchorage International Airport; Martin Ondra, air traffic controller at Merrill Field; Joe Wilbur of Anchorage, owner of Wilbur Flight Operations and Wilbur Flight School; Sumner Putnam, commercial pilot; Captain Welch, Alaska jet pilot; Gene Morris, FAA accident prevention coordinator; and an unidentified private pilot. Program contains scenes of Anchorage International Airport and Merrill Field, Lake Hood, Wilbur Flight School, airplanes in flight near Valdez, a Juneau departure, a Sitka approach, a Ketchikan approach, and cockpits of various aircraft in flight. (Sound/Color/2-inch quad videotape).
Airing from 1976 to 1987, Alaska Review was the first statewide public affairs television program in Alaska. The show was designed to explore public policy issues confronting Alaska, and to assist citizens in making decisions about the future of their land. Produced by Independent Public Television, Inc., (IPTV), the series eventually consisted of 16 one-hour shows, 46 half-hour shows, and one three-hour special broadcast. Funded through the Alaska Humanities Forum and State of Alaska, the series won multiple awards for public service and educational programming. IPTV dissolved in 1988. Videotapes for all finished productions and raw footage were later moved to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), where they became housed with the Alaska Film Archives, a unit of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections & Archives department in the Rasmuson Library at UAF, shortly after the unit was founded in 1993. The Alaska Film Archives is currently seeking funding to preserve and digitize all of the original full interviews gathered in the making of the Alaska Review series. Copies of finished productions are also held by Alaska State Library Historical Collections in Juneau. For more information, please contact the Alaska Film Archives at University of Alaska Fairbanks.
This sequence contains excerpts from AAF-4962 from the Alaska Review collection held by the Alaska Film Archives, a unit of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections & Archives Department in the Elmer E.

Alaskan Bear Watching & Flightseeing Adventure
This video montage was compiled by Google Photos from videos we took in and around Ketchikan Alaska. We went on two separate excursions. The first two flights took us to and from a bear watching platform near a waterfall on Margaret Creek. The second excursion took us on a flightseeing trip over the magnificent Misty Fiords National Monument, an area of over 2 million acres in the Tongass National Forest. Our pilots were Randy (of Mountain Air) and Michelle (of Island Wings Air). To get to Ketchikan, we cruised the Inside Passage on Holland America's MS Volendam cruise ship. The flights were the highlight of our trip to Alaska.

David Travels Series - Episode 10 - Alaska - HD
In this episode, we travel the famous Alaska coastline via the Norwegian Jewel cruise ship. Traveling by cruise provides the greatest opportunity to cover the most ground in a week’s timeframe. Our cruise departs from Seattle and stops in Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, BC, Canada then back to Seattle.
Alaska offers so many amazing sights, it was hard to squeeze it all into one episode. So I only picked the top 3 destination ports for this episode. Sit back, relax and I hope you enjoy this extended episode of David Travels.
Ketchikan, is a city in Ketchikan Gateway Borough, Alaska, United States.
Ketchikan’s economy is based upon tourism and fishing. The City is known as the Salmon capital of the world!
Ketchikan serves as both an air and marine transportation hub for southern Southeast Alaska.
The Ketchikan International Airport serves as both a gateway for Alaska Airlines jet service to and from Seattle, Juneau and Anchorage
A little thoughtful planning had me booked on an Indiana Jones style air/land adventure over Misty Fjords wilderness area with SeaWind Aviation.
They fired up the de Haviland Beaver Seaplane. Originally introduced in 1947, this plane is still the workhorse of many as the gold standard of seaplanes.
A seaplane is has floats for wheels to use for take off and landing and only one engine, propeller and pilot.
Some of nature’s most majestic work in Alaska is a short flight from Ketchikan. This unique landscape is over 2 million acres of protected land filled with brown and black bears, mountain goats, humpback whales and bald eagles..
We touched down on a high, remote mountain lake and my companions and I actually got out to take photos by standing on the floats. The peace and quiet of this moment was unparalleled.
Next Stop, Juneau AK
Juneau is named after gold prospector Joe Juneau. It’s situated close to the Mendenhall and Lemon Creek Glaciers.
Orca Whales were playing off the bow. Orca whales or Killer whales are a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family.
On the way back to town, we stopped at the famous Mendenhall Glacier. This glacier is 12 miles long. The lake infront was formed by melting ice. The glacier has also receded 1.75 miles since 1958 and will continue to retreat in the foreseeable future.
Back at the city, we stopped in the Red Dog Saloon for lunch.
This world famous saloon has provided hospitality and fellowship to weary travelers and local patrons alike since 1940.
Some old timers tell locals the Red Dog Saloon used to be just a tent on the beach during the mining heydays.
Back on the ship this time the inside passage treated us to mile high walls of granite rock and an up close view of some more huge glaciers.
Skagway, AK
In a single year from 1896 to 1897, this remote town along the inside passage grew from a few tents to a city of 20,000 gold seekers.
The area around present day Skagway was inhabited by the Tingit people from prehistoric times. They fished and hunted in the waters and forests and traded with other groups for supplies they needed.
The White Pass Trail, was one of the two main passes used by prospectors during the Yukon Gold Rush. The Yukon gold rush was an attempt by 100,000 people to travel to this area in search of their gold fortunes. Most failed and many never made it back home from these extremely harsh conditions.
This area is packed with wildlife. Brown and black bears actually use the road for easy travel. So you don’t even have to get out of your car to see them. Just keep your eyes open on the drive.
We have reached our destination. Emerald Lake, It is the largest of Yoho's 61 lakes and ponds, as well as one of the park's premier tourist attractions.
Due to its high altitude, the lake is frozen from November until June. The vivid turquoise color of the water, caused by powdered limestone, is most spectacular in July as the snow melts from the surrounding mountains.
During the summer months, canoe rentals are available; in the winter, the lake is a popular cross-country skiing destination.
The lake is enclosed by mountains of the President Range, as well as Mount Burgess and Wapta Mountain. This basin traps storms, causing frequent rain in summer and heavy snowfalls in winter.
Emerald Lake Lodge, a high-end lodge perched on the edge of the lake, is available for local accommodation.
Our final journey during the voyage home treated us to spectacular snow-capped mountain ranges set against lush green landscapes.

Black Bear swimming Across Naha Bay, Ketchikan, Alaska
We took this video earlier this summer. We were sitting at the dining table with Gary Lewis and his family and camera man (Gary Lewis Outdoor Adventures) when Jack spotted a dark shape out in the bay. He had just saying it would be neat if he got to see a bear swimming in the bay. We then realized that the dark shape he saw was in fact a bear swimming across the bay in front of our home and lodge. Jack grabbed his camera and positioned himself at our guest accommodation to film the bear. I also grabbed my camera and this is the video I took. Jack's footage will be part of one of the two shows that they will air in the spring of 2012.

Alaska Plane Crash Survivors Rescued From Island
(12 Jul 2018) The US Coast Guard rescued a pilot and 10 passengers on Tuesday, hours after their plane crashed on Alaska's Prince of Wales Island. The chartered Taquan Air flight crashed on a rocky mountainside near Ketchikan on Tuesday. Everyone survived and was rescued hours later by the U.S. Coast Guard.
The pilot told an investigator that he had left a lodge on Noyes Island just before 7:50 a.m., with the passengers and light cargo bound for Ketchikan, said Clint Johnson of the National Transportation Safety Board in Alaska.
During the flight, the pilot said, he noticed rising terrain ahead and tried to gain altitude to avoid it. But the float-equipped de Havilland Otter aircraft collided with it instead. The crash occurred around 8:35 a.m., Johnson said. The U.S. Coast Guard says the plane crashed on Mount Jumbo, 39 miles (62 km) south southwest of Ketchikan, Alaska, at an elevation of 2000 feet (609 meters).
Johnson said it's too early to draw any conclusions about the crash. A preliminary report was expected in the coming days.
Alaska State Troopers identified the pilot as Mike Hudgins of Ketchikan. Hudgins made the news in 2016 for rescuing a dog swimming in a busy channel. Efforts by The Associated Press to contact Hudgins weren't successful.
Taquan Air, in a statement, called Hudgins a skilled professional with thousands of hours of flying experience in Alaska, and hundreds of hours flying this particular aircraft. We are fortunate to have him as an employee.
The downed aircraft had an emergency locator that aided a search complicated by limited visibility of roughly one-quarter mile, Coast Guard Petty Officer Charly Hengen said.
The crash occurred on Prince of Wales Island, according to the Coast Guard. The heavily forested island near the southern tip of the Alaska Panhandle is the fourth-largest island in the U.S. At 2,577 square miles (6,675 square kilometers), it's larger than Delaware.
