Northern Exposures: Photos and Stories
from a "Student Bush Pilot"

by Charlie Jackson

(There were three people named Charles; my flight instructor, a fellow student, and me.
To avoid all sorts of confusion, I was called "Charlie" and my flight instructor, "Charles".)

What follows are several pages of photos, videos, and stories taken during my stay in Moose Pass,
Alaska during the week of June 21, 2007.
I've loosely arranged the photos and stories into the following sections:

Where is Moose Pass?
