Looks great, I'm jealous. Just do me one favor, when your flying around Wasilla please use your entire N#. I'm N5777C and if I heard 77C. I might think I'm hearing those voices again. Just kidding

For several years I was a Chief Pilot for a commuter airline operating out of Anchorage Intl. During that time there were several incident reports hit my desk from pilots who had close calls with other aircraft within the airport area. Usually these near misses were driven by pilots approaching from...

Buck, Sounds like your truely in Gods country. Also sounds like I now have an excuse to go get a $100.00 cup of coffee up in the interior. Fuel is no problem at Wolf lake. None avaiable on the dock but the pumps are a short distance away from the slips. Tranfering via cans is easy enough. Look forwa...

Bruce: Coffee sounds great. I've been into Anderson Lake twice with a 172 and your right the approach when landing west was rather exciting. I hesitated getting down after I cleared the trees and nearly used the water ramp to get stopped. (Just Kidding 8O ) Oh well, I was taking the airplane to Mat ...

Corey I know the feeling. If I had anything bad to say about Wolf Lake it's the strange wind patterns. I've only got about 30 hours in my 170 and if it wasn't for the WL winds it would probably be twice that. The paved strip is only 50 ft wide and runs downhill at both ends. Suffice to say I've been...

I just wanted to introduce myself to all you C-170 drivers out there. My name is Lars Nelson. I reside at Wolf Lake Aero Subdivision near Wasilla Ak. where I own a hangar/home. Wolf Lake is great little airfield with a 4000 ft paved E/W runway and a 3600 ft gravel N/S strip. And YES visitors are wel...

Thanks for the insulation tip. I'll give it a try.

So that's what the hole in my breather tube is for! As I live and learn I had the breather tube on my list for replacement parts because it had a hole in it.

For what it's worth I sprayed the inside of my filler cap with Corrosion-X and dumped in a can of Avblend at last oil change. So far no rust has re-appeared in the filler neck or cap since. I don't know what did the trick but I'll take it. Still getting moisture out the breather but I'm told that's ...

Guess I should read all the postings closer. Congrats on you purchase!

ENJOY

I was forced to make the same A/B decision last July. I searched high and low and ultimately purchased a 1950 A model in very nice condition. So far I've had no significant regrets. However, I must confess I have confined my flying to my base strip at Wolf Lake and surrounding Mat Valley strips of l...
