Re: Sarah Palin is a pilot!

The FAA shows Todd Parlin as only possessing private ASEL not ASES.

Hers might be under "Heath" as that was her maiden name.

You know what they say about Alaska, 90% of the population flys light planes and 70% have FAA permission.
Sounding more and more like our kind of people. ;-)

PS
Think we could all get on the list to get in her TFRs? We may all be nuts, but we sure wouldn't be a threat.

Nothing under Heath either.

The Plane belongs to her husband Todd Palin.

Love that "cocky aviator leaning on aircraft ala 1930's" pose. If she had my M1A Springfield cradled in her arms it would be perfect.

Re: Sarah Palin is a pilot!

Man, I LOVED my 1903a3. Unfortunatly my "uncle" felt he should keep her when I left the service. What a sniper rifle! Always been happy I never had to fire her in anger. What a beautiful piece of kit.

Wow, that was over 30 years ago, and when I close my eyes I can still smell the gun oil and and feel the wood stock. I remember "tweaking" the upper and lower stocks to get rid of that little "clicking" noise when they tapped each other. Never did get to try an M-84 scope, but then again, you could drill one round into the back of the last with just the iron sight once it was set up right.

All in all she sounds like a gem.
Now if I could just get past that "Piper" part. If it was a Taylorcraft I would be totally sold! WHAT was she THINKING!
Hank

If the Palins switched to a Taylorcraft, they would have to rename their daughter Piper who,I believe, was born after they acquired their Super Cub. Taylorcraft Palin? Hmm... I don't know if the kid would like the name change.

LOL! You're sick like me!

I agree, she should be cradling her "moose rifle".

Re: Sarah Palin is a pilot!

After watching both of the conventions I think perhaps an old curse applies: "May you live in interesting times."

Either way, the next 4 years is going to be INTERESTING.

Re: Fun in the Far North!

Just another day in Palin Land...! Since I had only hip boots on, I let my friend Steve (A new Commercial/CFII) hop off the floats of the plane to untangle this Coho (Silver Salmon) from the grass. The link below this picture shows him in the water next to the plane. We were fishing in the Big
River Lakes area.

Dick,

Is that a recent picture? The silvers I've been catching lately have had more color than that beautiful 'dime bright' silver. Maybe I need to head over to Big River Lakes!

Re:salmon catch date

Jim, we were at Big River Lakes on Aug. 11.
