I was trying to post the video of Bob Breeden with the world's record short take off and landing in a Super Cub.
Here's an old one, not near as good. His new record is 76 feet total for take off and landing.

Here's this years winner landing. I can't figure out how to get the video off facebook to show the take off too.

I do believe once I get my passport I will be making a few hauls up to Alaska. Always been on my bucket list!

Willys, when you're truckin' on up to Alaska, an hour and a half before you get to Mile Zero on the Alaska highway, [Dawson Creek], you will have passed our farm about 12 miles to the south of the highway.

JK, depends on when you go. Summer I presume so fishing, halibut for sure. Flying, stock car races at Kenia or Willow, Reindeer sausage and eggs at Gwennie's in Anch. Fly by Night Club if it's still open. Skinney Dicks Halfway Inn near Fairbanks. Anything in Talkeetna.
Keep close to your mosquito dope. And not some wimpy crap, it needs to be at least 30% Deet. Ben's or deep woods off.

When ever it happens I'm gonna try to take the time to see as much and do as much as I can! It would be cool to meet up with a few northern members along the way!
