Hey Steve,
Very nice pictures and a very nice helicopter. Nice that you flew for Tradewind Alaska - maybe you should contact Sandy aka. Snowboss
Steve,
Great shots! If we still had the Island Breezes this could have been an interesting feature story! I always enjoy your photos, they are 1st class.

Very nice shots Steve!
Great atmosphere
Actually I can answer the question about the Island Breezes. I was the editor for over a year, was fortunate enough to be granted interviews with some interesting folks, had a couple of great feature writers, but my time got to be at a premium since my working schedule changed and there wasn't anyone else to help with the project.
I still remember the Breezes fondly, I appreciate the archived editions. Do you think there is any interest>
