Get those Eskimos home to Wiseman

So lets get you going here. I want you to fly that Beaver outside there to Wiseman. Two of the passengers on the DC-3 where Inuit’s returning from hospital in Fairbanks and are anxious to get home to Wiseman. There also is some mail and supplies on board. Since you haven’t flown this leg before I suggest that you take the route of Bettles (PABT) to Coldfoot (CSX) then on into the right valley. Just keep the pipeline on your right as you fly in the valley and the runway is ahead. Wiseman is a 2000’ gravel runway but the first 300’ are unserviceable, there is a large yellow X on the runway. On the bulletin Board over there we have a chart with the Airport Conditions posted, suggest you check it out before each flight as they change often up here. Your return flight will be bringing out some air cargo and mail.
