Alaska Bush Flier Turns Salmon Cash Into Season
In IXAKOTAT Alaska bush pilot Oscar Omdahl flies sockeye to Bel achingham cannery earning about $6000 per season plus 10 cents per fish. He can haul 175 fish per trip with up to seven trips daily, totaling around $8000 for three months. Weather and terrain pose risks as he keeps engines running to beat tides. He pilots a modified BT 13 trainer dubbed the fish wagon and runs a small flying school. Omdahl, husband with two children in Petersburg, weighs winter plans after summer earnings.
