    It was not a park in the early 70's. Shaky Shannahan out of Bettles would fly my hunting partner and I in there for a 6 week walk'about.

    I think the only worse name for a pilot than "Shaky" would be "Crash".

    Speaking of bush pilots. Years ago I was reading in some aviation magazine a story about Alaska bush pilots (got a lot of respect for what you do Hopeak). The conversation between the pilot and tower went something like this.

    Pilot - Requesting clearance to land and turn on the runway landing lights.
    Tower - Negative. Weather is too bad. Fly on heading...........
    Pilot - Repeats request.
    Tower - Negative. We are snowed in with zero visibility. The runway is closed.

    ten minutes pass by with silence on the radio, then....

    Pilot - Request you turn on the lights!
    Tower - I've told you no - it's impossible to land in these conditions.
    Pilot - I'm already on the ground. Just gotta figure out where to get some hot coffee.
