Alaska’s tight-knit community of bush pilots came together in a big way this week to help save one of their own.⁠ ⁠ Thanks to their coordination and efforts, the Alaska National Guard was able to rescue a missing pilot and his two daughters, who’d crashed into a frozen lake on the Kenai Peninsula Sunday night. They’d spent around 12 hours on one of the wings of the partially submerged plane by the time the airborne cavalry arrived. The missing pilot and his daughters, who have not been identified, were reportedly on a sightseeing trip from Soldotna to Skilak Lake when their Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser went down Sunday evening.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #alaska #alaskan #bushpilot #bushpilots #pilot #outdoors #planecrash #bushplane #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: Terry Godes / alaskanationalguard⁠ Story by: dac.collins
