Two days ago Bering Air went missing enroute to Nome and in the hours before the wreckage with no survivors was found, I hoped Alaska would pull out a miracle in the midst of so much bleakness.
I am part of a lovely group of internet people on another website. I will continue to pass along links to your Substack, along with small quotes, in hopes that I can interest some of them in joining your Substack.
Looking forward to supporting more of your work in 2025, and very sorry that it had to start with this accident and the 10 folks lost.
Wow! Thanks for the insight. As a pilot I find the lack of support of aviation in Alaska appalling. Especially since it can be considered a primary way of transportation for some, not to mention the challenging environment pilots operate in.
I realize you’re already hamstrung by Mother Nature but to not have the basic infrastructure afforded us pilots in the lower 48 is crazy.
There's a lot to what goes wrong in AK - I'm working on more articles about the specific issues there which I think a lot of folks in the Lower 48 don't know about.
I saw the plane go missing and I was hoping you would post about it. You're my go-to for all things Alaska Plane Crash.
Thanks for reading, Lara. This is just...so sad. I still can't believe it happened.

Thank you so much for reading and sharing!
Thank you for the info--tho so very difficult to accept.
Am just a part-time visitor to AK (Iditarod trail veterinarian) but know how integral to AK life air travel is.
Thanks so much for reading and how cool that you are a vet for the race! That is awesome!
