Homer AlaskaFLOATPLANESKachemak Air Service, Inc.
Over the years our aircraft have carried famous nature and wildlife photographers including Fred Hirschmann, Tom Mangelson, Galen Rowell, Johnny Johnson, Kennan Ward, Erwin Bauer, Michio Hoshino, Leo Keeler, Tony Dawson, Lynn Stone, and Larry Aumiller; we've hauled BBC and Nature TV crews and their mountains of equipment; and we've flown with thousands other special people just like you since 1967. Now you can go sightseeing with us in our 1929 Travel Air S6000B "Limousine of the Air" over the mountains, glaciers, and shores of Kachemak Bay. In one hour you'll fly over a hundred miles of our most unforgettable scenery. And while the scenery is breathtaking, the aircraft is unique too. Once, back in the '30s, as a publicity stunt sponsored by a fuel company, this aircraft was kept in the air non-stop for almost two weeks using primitive air-to-air refueling (the hose was simply dangled down from another Travel air - a 6000 later flown by Lindbergh to Mexico with Ann Morrow and thus named "Romancer"). Today, she's better than new after restoration with modern materials. It's like a sunday afternnon drive in our Pierce Arrow.
