Flying for Kako 2024

from Tell Your Story Alaska · host Billy Tjernlund

I recently returned from flying for Kako Retreat Center located in remote Alaska Yukon Delta area. I briefly tell the history of Kako, talk about the challenges of the airstrip, the area, the unreliable forecasts in Alaska, and all about "Family Camp" at Kako! We stopped in at Port Allsworth, AK where Tanalian Bible Camp and Samaritans Purse have ministries. When we returned home some family visited and we had some fun on a glacier tour, flying my Maule to Rohn airstrip and Knik Glacier! This episode is offers a taste of what flying is like in Alaska and why we do it. Don’t miss the very end where the native band at Kako play "How Great Thou Art" in the Yupik language.
