Greetings and salutations.
A pilot friend and I are planning a trip to Alaska this summer. We have done this trip before and are interested in inviting several other competent pilots with aircraft to come along. Possibly up to five more aircraft.
We will be flying a Bonanza F33 and a Turbo Arrow. We are not leading an expedition or accepting responsibility for other pilots safety. But we have done this before and happy to lead the way and offer advise. Hopefully we would be traveling in a loose formation.
We expect 10 days but that's not cast in stone. We would meet in northern Washington state and travel up the trench (White Horse, Prince George, Lake Watson, etc) into Alaska returning along the coast. Actual routing and locations visited are not yet determined. You and your aircraft should be instrument competent. Last time we did this trip, we were solid IMC out of Ketchikan into Washington state. We avoided landing in Canada and customs. This makes it USA to USA so no customs coming back.
While we obviously can expect assistance form the other pilots in the group, you should be relativity sell sufficient. This is not a tour.
There is lots to know and this is not even a minor description of the trip. If anyone is interested, please let me know.
