It occasionally does.
If you're looking for ways to fly a few hours off, go tow banners, follow pipeines, toss jumpers, instruct, yada, yada, yada.
I don't totally agree with "shouldn't go", but the rest is true. There is certainly a steep learning curve flying in SE Alaska. I sometimes look back at my first year in Juneau and wonder how I survived. But 10 yrs later and I've finally had enough fun. LOL.
