Description: If you want to get a lot of places in Alaska, you need to charter a plane as access by road can either be too treacherous or simply nonexistent, by sea just too time-consuming or not an option further inland. Whether it’s a civilized weekend in Sitka, dropping in on the small town of Golovin, or landing on McKinley Glacier, an experienced bush pilot is an excellent choice to get you to where you are wanting to go… and back again. Founded in 1968, Whitebear Air Charters spent decades transporting people and goods throughout the massive state of Alaska, and their experienced pilots were at the ready, airport or not. From landing at sea or on glacial snowpack, to the raw bush country landscape, Whitebear did it all.
Description: Kurtzer Flying Service was founded by legendary Seattle pilot, Alana Kurtzer, at Boeing Field in 1928. Kurtzer would later relocate the business to the south end of Lake Union in 1931. Serving routes throughout the Pacific Northwest, from the Mt. Rainier and the San Juan Islands, to destinations in British Columbia, including Vancouver and Nanaimo, Kurtzer Flying Service got cargo and passengers to their destinations for years. Kurtzer eventually renamed the business Kurtzen Marine and Flying Service School, and began teaching pilots the ins and outs of operating seaplanes. Alana Kurtzer's school continued to operate for decades, training thousands of pilots that would follow in his footsteps, and only closed in 1988 after his death.
