Does your return trip take you across the panhandle of Idaho? There are a lot of airports to be claimed in northern Idaho, northern Montana, and North Dakota.

My #1 KX 155 recently died. Problems started out as having a limited range of 5nm to pick up AWOS and then had to be at an airport to pick up AWOS and now it does not even power up. :(

Could it be the influence of the "evil Blue Bronco" at KDEN ?

With 295 airports listed in Alaska and 37 claimed so far means 87% of the airports are available to be claimed. You are headed for "fertile claiming" territory !

May was a good month for moving the percentage marker. On May 1st it sat at 57.7% but by June 9th it sits at 58.36%. With only 80 claims needed to reach 60%, the goal should be reached long before Christmas. Could happen by Halloween.

Took a 14 year old " up into the big blue " yesterday for his first GA experience.. He is the grandson of a friend. He seemed to enjoy it but then started to get real quiet and pale, it was a hot afternoon, so I got him on the ground before his lunch went projectile.

It would be great fun to go to Hawaii on holiday, rent a Cherokee and claim one or more of the 14 airports there. The webpage monthly stats is probably mistaken that 9 of 22 have been claimed there. Perhaps Barb could claim all 14 on her next holiday?
