Fishing Trip in Alaska By Ned Costa, CAPO KETCHIKAN, AK (2006) - Phil and Maureen Johnson while taking some additional R&R in Alaska. In the photo below, our two are sitting on the pontoon skids of this completely reconditioned Bell 206. This aircraft is owned by Wayne Speers who invited them for a 10 day flying and fishing trip in Ketchikan. When they weren't flying, they spent the remainder of the time on his 110 foot yacht and met up with a group of 20 friends that were staying at a fishing camp about three hours north of Ketchikan -- Phil said the King Salmon and Trout fishing were great, unfortunately, they didn't get very many Halibut.
Phil was a Casper Pilot at LZ English from February 1969 to 1970. He mainly flew OH-6A Cayuse's, but on occasion, he would also fly UH-1H Huey's.

I am no expert Phil, but in the
photo to the left,
looks like you may have had a "flashback" and was flying a combat
assault mission into the An Lao Valley -- I could be wrong!
