    Default Solo to Alaska

    I just completed a solo round trip from Denver to Alaska in the Kitfox. I posted a link on the Matronics list which leads to the trip log on my web site. For those who may want to visit, the link is:

    I saw the reply, check the date to my original post. I have flown that plane more than 400 hours since I read the solo story. That in the past two years. Thanks to great people in the community and astonishing circumstances.

    I wish I could do this adventure, but you can’t be a SLSA Pilot and fly to Alaska. You have to have a Class III medical.

    I think the correct wording would be: you need to have a current medical to fly in Canada.

    Congratulations!
