Bush Plane - August 2023
While I was trying to get an image of Denali peak at Talkeetna, this bush plane flew low up the river. Like many of the planes in Alaska, it is a very old wood and fabric aircraft. This particular plane is a Piper PA-18 Super Cub that has been modified with extra large wheels for rough grass landings. This type of plane was first built in 1946 and over 10,000 were sold before it became “obsolete” in the late 1950s. They are not obsolete in Alaska. Most of the float planes and bush planes are wooden frames with fabric skins. These handle the extreme temperature ranges better than aluminum and are easier to repair. It would not be surprising to find that the plane which I photographed was well over sixty years old.

Au where Mulder gifts Scully with an introductory course at a small aircraft pilot school because he thinks it will help her control issues/fear of flying. This backfires a little because she loves it and it eats into their weekend wild goose chase time, and while he trusts her with his life he isn't often willing to ride along because small planes are like small boats in terms of motion sickness. He's extremely proud of her when she gets her licence though and starts lobbying for doing joint remote location monster hunter tours for hire.
("Right, you find most other conspiracy theorists insufferable close up, so you would like to devise a system of annoying them whereby you ralph on them at altitude and then get them lost in a damp forest. Sure, Mulder, sounds profitable."
"Scully, I don't think you're taking this scheme in the spirit it was intended. It's supposed to be for fun, see."
"Mulder you hate flying with me, how would that be fun for you?"
"I love flying with you! Well, I love how much you love it, and I don't usually mind it unless my inner ears have a problem!")
