Quick trip from St. Mary's


Crew unloading Eric's plane
Eric has been in St. Mary's for about 2 weeks. St. Mary's is on the Yukon River, and takes about 1 hour to fly there. (in a small plane) Eric is training in the 207, and will be based in Bethel. He's been in Nome for over 6 months, so I'm happy to have him home on a regular basis.
Eric flew down to Bethel today to drop off passengers, so we were only able to chat for a few minutes. I grabbed him something to eat, and sent him off with a care package of goodies. It is hard being separated all of the time, but this is just what we have to do to get him flying. Luckily I have a lot of great friends to keep me busy - I'm also pretty independent, so that helps too. Eric should be back to Bethel by July.
