This is just a heads-up to any and all reality TV fans, or those of you who want a closer look at what the "travel industry" is like up here. Discovery has a new show which just premiered this week called Flying Wild Alaska. It focuses in large part on the family that runs Era Alaska out of Unalakleet. They are the same people and planes I get to see every time I fly up here. I watched the premiere last night and it was so cool and kind of uncanny to be able to say "I've flown in that plane! I know those people!"
Additionally, Discovery filmed parts of our teacher in-service back in October that may be included on the show. I had to sign a release form saying it was ok if they happened to put me on TV, so if you do watch the show, keep your eyes peeled! However highly unlikely it is that you might catch a glimpse of my face on TV, I would highly recommend this show regardless. It gives a great picture of what life is like up here, and our complete dependence on planes to get us places and get us the things we need to survive. It's definitely a slice of life most people in the Lower 48 have no idea even exists.
Check out the show's website and watch some previews,
