I flew for Yute Air out of Bethel. You familiar with them?

There were a number of different outfits in Bethel over the years.
You weren't the only one coming up with custom approaches.
(Obviously NOT while under 121 ops, though!)
I answered your pm.

This was the conversation on the radio with the airport agent:
Me: Hey Bruce, how's the weather there?
Bruce: You have my package? (In that slow Inuit voice)
Me: Yes, I have it. How's the weather?
Bruce: Ish goot!
Apparently, 300 and a half mile vis are goot! Lol
Good times.

We were just "ahead of our time" and paving the way for the FAA GPS approaches.
Crazy, yet good times.

How fun was holding over the old radar southwest of the airport at 500' with 3 other planes and trying to keep the one in front of you in sight, waiting to be cleared for the Special VRF approach.
