These sleds are unassembled so they fit in smaller aircraft. Hans hopes to sell some of these sleds, and employee Carolyn Moore, will return with you. This flight is for a C208, Beech-18, Navajo & Pilatus PC-12. Atlin Airport has a lighted, 3,900 foot gravel based rwy. Fuel is available. I recommend to land on rwy 36 and depart on rwy 18. I also recommend you fly from Anchorage to Cordova and down the coast to Yakataga and Yakutat, then turn inland and direct to Haines, and then a short flight to Atlin. All these have NDB's, so you can do a little ADF navigation. The trip is around 515 miles one-way using this plan.
