Alaska moose hunting trip

[tom]

Anyone interested in flying to upper Alaska this fall (2017) for a DIY hunt, moose and caribou. You will need your own plane for weight distribution. Looking for someone that loves hunting as much as flying as I do. Thanks Tom.

This is exactly why I want to buy a Kitfox. Trips like this are what I dream of. Take one of my kids and go fishing for a weekend somewhere in the bush.

A point to consider:

You can NOT fly through Canadian airspace on a Light Sport Certificate. A Private Pilot certificate with a valid medical is the minimum.

Yes, as av8r3400 states, a person is SOL if they want to fly across the border under SP ticket. I posed the question many years ago to the EAA to see if anything was in the works for cross country agreement to allow SP people to traverse the border. Living up here in floatplane country I know a lot of guys that have gone to SP and can no longer fly their floatplanes into Canada to their fishing cabins.
Unfortunately, I would have been contacting to original poster as soon as I read the post but knew it was senseless due to this issue of lapsed medical.

Tom,
Being a very avid hunter, just guess what my forum name means! I wish you the best of luck on a dream hunt!!

Yeah the big thing in Canada is you NEED a medical to fly. Hopefully once the medical reform in the states plays out Canada will follow suit as they often do.

It's funny how the rules work. We have owner maintenance planes up here that are basically certified planes that you can do maintenance on your self such as an experimental (Once you put it in owner maintenance you can't reverse it so you have to think long and hard before you do it). The FAA will not allow any of those planes in US airspace under any circumstances.
