A life of adventure - doing what you love and getting paid
for it – does this sound interesting to you? Maybe if you’re thinking about a
career change you should think about heading to Alaska to be a float plane
pilot or a bush pilot.
At the very least it’s an excellent summer vacation idea if
you can’t manage the career change right now. These pilots live lives that most
of us will only dream of. Think of it this way if you have to justify the
change to your significant other: when it’s really hot and humid where you live
during the summer you are pretty much guaranteed relief from the heat in the
form of lower temperatures if you’re in Alaska! That should definitely get you
to at least the “I’ll think about it” stage with them (if you’re lucky).
Fast forward to what your life would be like in the winter.
Imagine the adrenaline rush of flying over a glacier and then landing on an icy
lake with skis on your plane. No brakes here…all you’ve got is your wits and
some luck! This paragraph is sponsored by

Are you looking for some more “subtle” adventure? You could
fly charter flights the rest of the year into the wilderness and drop people
off for a day of fishing, hiking, nature-watching or the like and then head
back at the end of the day to pick them up and take them back to civilization.
Talk about the ideal job for a pilot!
There are thousands of lakes in Alaska that you can land on,
or if you prefer you can put your tundra tires to work and find a flat spot to
land in the wilderness. Bust out “The Claw” and leave your plane to go do some
exploring of your own! The cool thing about this particular tie down is that
it’s not only super-portable but the more your plane pulls on it the deeper it
pulls into the ground, keeping it safe from those renegade tornadoes that keep
threatening to swoop your little investment away! This paragraph is sponsored

There is some sort of fancy mathematical equation for how
“The Claw” works, and if you want to work it out you can go right ahead. For
the rest of us, trust me, this contraption is very cool. It’s easy to take with
you because it breaks down and even has its own storage bag.
However, there are always two sides to every story…living in
Alaska means that you probably aren’t going to see most of your family as often
as you’d like (or if it’s the in-laws that might not be such a bad thing,
right?) and every day in your plane isn’t necessarily going to be idyllic.
If you have a job flying you are going to have to be out in
all sorts of weather; much of it as far from ideal conditions as you can
imagine. You’ll have to have a lot of training and experience as well as the
guts to keep going when you know that you really shouldn’t. Not to mention that
when you turn a hobby into a job you run the risk of losing the excitement and
reward that you get out of it. This paragraph is sponsored by

If you still are interested at this point and I haven’t
dissuaded you then probably you are going to make a go of it “by hook or by
crook.” Good for you!
Things that you will need for your trip:
1. Plane
2. Maps
3. Tie down
4. Willing victim to tag along
5. Warm clothes
6. Camera
7. floats (weather-permitting)
8. Skis (weather-permitting)
9. A guide who knows where the best places are to check out
Overall, the idea of spending time in Alaska with your family
(or just alone with your plane if you’re that type of person) can be a reality
for most anybody. All it takes is some research, a little bit of planning, and
before you know it you’re off on an adventure that will be well worth writing
home about! This paragraph is sponsored by

Even the most expensive airfare offered by the Southwest
airlines to and from Philadelphia is quite inexpensive. In the beginning these
airfares started at a mere $49 one way to Providence and they top out at only
$299 one way for cross country flights to Las Vegas, Phoenix and the west
coast. You are not required for an advance purchase or overnight stay on these unrestricted
fares. This paragraph is sponsored by travel to Umrah from UK.
