fter topping the tanks of my trusty Cessna 310and packing it with lots of charts, coats, luggage, cameras, and survivalgear, I take off with my brother-in-law Joel for a long-anticipated flyingvacation trip to Alaska. It's the first time for both of us, and somethingI've dreamed about doing for 20 years. Equipped with AOPA's Alaska infopacket, Jeppesen's Canada/Alaska trip kit, and Don Downie's book YourAlaskan Flight Plan, we're about to spend the next week and a halfchecking out the land of the midnight sun and Exxon's most expensive blunder.
