Seldovia Forms its First Pilot’s Association
by Jenny Chissus
I received notice from Kris Lethin that he and Jerry had started this new venture for the pilots of Seldovia. I had a chance to visit a few minutes with Jerry Stranik who mentioned that this idea has been talked about for years, and they finally decided to make it happen! If you have a plane at the Seldovia Airport – you perhaps received one of these fliers the other day announcing this new group. Primarily, it is a way for fellow pilots to get together, talk about policies and procedures for communication and protocol at our fabulous air strip and meet socially – as pilots, like bikers and sailors, are often of similar mind and interests!
This first meeting/hanger party will be held on July 6th – as the 4th of July weekend is usually the busiest weekend of the year for our airport! Jerry was excited about the new group, and is hopeful to have a great turn out, both at the hanger party and with membership. Please give Jerry or Kris a call/email with any questions – and their information is listed below!
See You for the Fireworks Show – Friday at 8pm
Fireworks Show – Friday Night!
It was just confirmed that the fireworks celebration has been rescheduled for Friday, January 4 at 8:00pm at the airport. Obviously, this is weather permitting, but we will remain hopeful that we will be able to celebrate together the beginning of 2013!
Please help us pass the word on to folks about this new time!
Feel free to subscribe to Seldovia.com, (at the very bottom right hand corner of this page) so that you will be informed by email when updates are posted to the Gazette!
I will post any further updates as I receive them – hopefully, the weather will cooperate and we will all celebrate together soon!
Fireworks Cancelled – Until Further Notice
by Jenny Chissus
Alvin just called to confirm that the fireworks celebration is cancelled for this evening, and until further notice. The weather is so poor, and unfortunately it doesn’t look like it is getting any better anytime soon. They have the fuses dried out, and is hopeful they will be fine, but another wet night would do them in for good!
Please help us pass the word on to folks that the fireworks show isn’t going to happen tonight – and check back here as we will let you know when it will be rescheduled, on a drier and calmer evening!

Seldovia’s Airport Webcam – Back on Line – Thanks to Kris!
by Jenny Chissus
Thanks to Kris Lethin – our web cam technical support guy/computer guru – our Webcam for the Seldovia Airport is back on line! The problem was a heavy snow load that fell off the roof and severed the line and pulled apart connections – so Kris had to troubleshoot , splice and replace the line! Thanks again Kris, I really appreciate you! So do all the folks/pilots who check out the condition of the Seldovia airport before flying over! Thanks too, to George – who keeps our airport in great condition. We have an awesome reputation for a very well maintained and safe airstrip! Run way is clear – come on over to Seldovia!!

Seldovia Airport Camera
These cameras are updating every 20-30 seconds, and are a great way to check in “live” with Seldovia! There are also cameras at the city dock for AMHS arrivals/departures, another harbor cam and a lookout over Kachemak Bay!
