Seldovia Forms its First Pilot’s Association

I received notice from Kris Lethin that he and Jerry had started this new venture for the pilots of Seldovia.  I had a chance to visit a few minutes with Jerry Stranik who mentioned that this idea has been talked about for years, and they finally decided to make it happen!  If you have a plane at the Seldovia Airport – you perhaps received one of these fliers the other day announcing this new group.  Primarily, it is a way for fellow pilots to get together, talk about policies and procedures for communication and protocol at our fabulous air strip and meet socially – as pilots, like bikers and sailors, are often of similar mind and interests!

This first meeting/hanger party will be held on July 6th – as the 4th of July weekend is usually the busiest weekend of the year for our airport!  Jerry was excited about the new group, and is hopeful to have a great turn out, both at the hanger party and with membership.   Please give Jerry or Kris a call/email with any questions – and their information is listed below!

Alvin just called to confirm that the fireworks celebration is cancelled for this evening, and until further notice.  The weather is so poor, and unfortunately it doesn’t look like it is getting any better anytime soon.  They have the fuses dried out, and is hopeful they will be fine, but another wet night would do them in for good!

130101 Fireworks CancelledPlease help us pass the word on to folks that the fireworks show isn’t going to happen tonight – and check back here as we will let you know when it will be rescheduled, on a drier and calmer evening!

Thanks to Kris Lethin – our web cam technical support guy/computer guru – our Webcam for the Seldovia Airport is back on line!  The problem was a heavy snow load that fell off the roof and severed the line and pulled apart connections – so Kris had to troubleshoot , splice and replace the line!  Thanks again Kris, I really appreciate you!  So do all the folks/pilots who check out the condition of the Seldovia airport before flying over!  Thanks too, to George – who keeps our airport in great condition.  We have an awesome reputation for a very well maintained and safe airstrip!   Run way is clear – come on over to Seldovia!!

Seldovia Airport Camera

These cameras are updating every 20-30 seconds, and are a great way to check in “live” with Seldovia!   There are also cameras at the city dock for AMHS arrivals/departures, another harbor cam and a lookout over Kachemak Bay!

Thank you to the sponsors of these cameras: Sea Parrot Inn, Bridgekeeper’s Inn, Joe Fleckenstein, Ester In-Hout, City of Seldovia, Herring Bay Mercantile, Alaska Dancing EaglesAeroTech Inc. and Seldovia.com. Also – a BIG thank you goes out to Tom Glover who set up the cameras, and recently assisted with repairs to the harbor cam – and Kris Lethin – who is assisting with technical support with the cameras – as that is outside my area of expertise!

Thanks Tom and Kris, we so appreciate that
all the Seldovia cameras are up and running!!
