Wien Air Alaska
With Lockdown 3.0 and poor photographic weather continuing, it is time to dig deep into the 35mm slide archives over the next few days, concentrating on a short visit to Katmai whilst exploring the state of Alaska.
The above photo features a Wien Air Alaska Boeing 737-200 taken on July 6th 1977.
The back story : For decades I have had it in my head that the trip to Katmai National Park from Anchorage was via Nome. Wrong! The aircraft was probably onward bound to Nome but stopped en route at the small town of King Salmon. After leaving the plane, this is where the above photo was taken.
I'll add that the Katmai trip was a mini 3 day package organised by a travel agent in Anchorage. I'll always remember him asking why on earth I hadn't called him from England ahead of time so he could book things. He was incredulous when I sheepishly answered that I didn't have a telephone!
What happened next? See tomorrow's post.
