Their old DO and CP (Ernie and another fellow) is what I heard. They already had an incident putting a sled off the side of the runway a couple months ago. Yute would be a lot of fun but if you don't like the idea of flying a beat to hell sled at 500 ft in "2 miles" of vis then you'd be better off looking elsewhere.

But yea you better be able to fly 500ft off the ground not being able to see in front of the wing strut and be ok with it or you’ll struggle. It was the time of my life up there for sure.

I would bet most of the sleds I flew then are still flying in Alaska today.

I think I worked for Ernie (same guy?) at Camai Air (now defunct).
Not sure who Tony is, or his background.
Actually I was more interested in the investors (?)/owners. Who's actually financing the thing?
Good luck to everyone.
