LaRC B-200:  (by Luci Crittenden)
Winds and visibility look good for the northern route of transit for the next few days, so the aircraft will leave Ames this morning and fly to Bellingham, WA for a refuel and then on to Anchorage, Alaska for the night.  Flight crew will sacrifice Hawaiian tropic suntan lotion for a feast of Alaskan salmon. Tomorrow’s leg should take them to Adak for the night.
