PIREP Vic: Transfer flight to Kaltag

Hello Sandy,

I swept the straw out of the Super Cub (man, there was straw everywhere!) and then I flew up to Kaltag today in a Beech Baron - a bit roomier and faster!

Weather was severe clear most of the way once north of the mountains. No problems, easy flight.

Note from Snowboss:
"Hi Vic,

The straw you haul is suppose to be in blue plastic bags. Make sure they wrap them for you. Sorry about the mess in your cub."

Vic:
"Hi Boss,

No wonder things were so messy! They were taking advantage of a rookie.
Thanks, I won't let them get away with that anymore!"

Snowboss:
"I should have warned you Vic. The loading crew gets lazy at times, and take advantage of rookie Iditarod pilots."
