God's Country Aviation

10/13/2026

I have been flying professionally since 2003. I have had the privilege to fly amazing people across Alaska in some pretty special aircraft. I enjoyed my time flying the Dehaviland Beaver, the Norseman, U-206, C185, Helio Courier, Husky, and the Supercubs. But this fall was some of the most fun flying in the highly modified Maule M7 we call “Birch Syrup”.
My strips felt easy this year using this plane. It was easier to land, easier to take off with a load, easier on approach in gusty winds, just easier all around.
At this point in my career I like having enough margin for things to feel easy:)
The FAA is not always easy to work with but they have been working with us to help get these modifications to the Maule that add some margin into a very unforgiving environment and I am grateful to have been able to fly one of these planes this season.

We had some hi caliber individuals come through moose camp with us this year. The weather was wet and windy and sometimes snowing, but these guys worked hard and all came back with great moose, and great stories.
Renae and I really enjoyed this fall!

There has been a changing of the guard.
My dad passed on the commercial flying to Micah Raber. Curt is still flying, only now it is more focused on dreams my mom and he have wanted to pursue together. We miss working with Curt. We are also excited for the new adventures they will have.
We are really pleased to have Micah working with us. Micah is skilled, thoughtful, and loves all things Alaska.
We just finished up Micah’s first moose season and he did a great job.
…now if we can get him into a God’s Country Edition Maule for next season;)

I had never flown a Maule before.Then I was asked to fly a brand-...

It is a lot of fun to share the beauty of God’s Country with new and old friends.

We just dropped Gideon off at college. Renae and I are so proud of this young man and so grateful he is our son. Gideon is sharp, strong, and also very kind.

My brother in law, Philip and his wife Maurisa came for an adventure flight to celebrate their marriage. I love these guys!

Getting outside with my parents as a kid make up the majority of my formative memories.

Renae and I are glad to get to do the same with our kids(and grandchild).
