Above Alaska: Bush Pilots of the Last Frontier

Willy Fulton is a floatplane pilot based in Kodiak, Alaska. The staff at Filson caught up with Willy to ask him a few questions about how he ended up there, with arguably one of the coolest jobs in the world.

Covering 663,268 square miles, Alaska is larger than Texas, California, and Montana, combined. With only 20% of that land mass accessible by road, aviation is not a luxury in Alaska. It is a necessity.
