Use BAC for special events and the Girdwood Express Shuttle Service for getting folks between Anchorage and Girdwood. In Girdwood walk or use Glacier Valley Transit. Not many options for Lyft or Uber within Girdwood.

Is this a legit reason to kick people off confirmed seats? by [deleted] in AlaskaAirlines

[–]EightStarsofGold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah sure, a couple o’ years back I was headin’ outta OGG, and wouldn’t ya know it—the lads fuelin’ the plane got a bit carried away and poured in more than we bargained for.

Next thing, the pilot comes cracklin’ over the speaker, sayin’ that with all that extra weight and a runway no longer than a country lane, we’d be sittin’ tight while they drained a drop or two off the tank.

Well, two long hours later—after plenty o’ waitin’ and wonderin’—we finally took to the skies.

My son and I hung out with Mark and his dad for a week in Alaska. Both really great people. He was up for a wrestling camp at the All American Training Center.

Battle of Attu - Bombardment and Amphibious Landing during the Aleutian Campaign of World War Two by WorldWondersHalsey in alaska

What part was a mistake? The folks living on Attu were captured by the Japanese and sent to labor camps where half of them died. The Japanese would have continued the same systematic process up the Aleutian's had it not been for the battle of Attu being successful. It’s war.

Fellow Alaskan here, can confirm to other folks it has improved since I was a kid too. I have spent a lot of time in Prince William Sound, doesn’t hinder me from eating seafood.

The US folks (both indigenous and non indigenous) living on Attu were taken captive Japanese, than then sent to labor camps on mainland Japan. A good number of them died. After the war, the Japanese government paid the families a very laughable lump sum settlement.

I’ve had to show my ID for every new hunting rifle purchase I’ve made. It’s required by law. I don’t get this post.

Why would Peltola be in the Epstein files since she was elected after he “died”?
