AKP010: Iditarod Trail

Scenic Charter!

Westwind Regional Alaska is now offering an Iditarod trail charter. Fly your passengers along the trail stopping at whatever checkpoints or other places they want to visit.

The 2014 Iditarod starts on Sat., March 1 at 10:00am in Anchorage. The rest of the route is up to you and your passengers. Fly them to whatever checkpoints they want to see. Whether they want to be at a checkpoint for the lead pack to come through or follow their favorite team, it's the passengers' call. Pilots are to accommodate their passengers' requests as long as it is safe to do so. Keep in mind it is an even year, so the north route will be used.
