Pilots who fly, or just learned to fly up there become accustomed to

from others and from the aircraft in question. Rules and regulations
were never on anybody's lists up there in 1965 and wouldn't doubt it's
the same today.

The fact that a politician died in a plane crash was not the point of my
post. I was responding to the statement above being an attitude that
can / will quickly file a flight plan to the hereafter. I suspect that
pilots in Alaska don't consider things like CG, weight, weather, and
runways "trivial" but simply face greater challenges to flight and push
their airplanes closer to the limits than I do flying in the flat lands
of Illinois on clear sunny days.
I too have similar feelings about politicians but wishing anyone harm is
not in my makeup.
