Kick back, forget work!  This gold nugget interview from 2016 features legendary aviator, author and former State of Alaska legislator, Chuck Sassara, whose life is almost unbelievable - certainly his Tall Alaska Tales are! Joining Chuck was former Alaska Magazine Editor, Andy Hall. Btw, check out Chuck's book on our Book Review Section: Chuck Sassara's Alaska: Propellors, Politics and People. And Andy Hall's book, Denali's Howl: the Deadliest Climbing Disaster on America's Wildest Peak.

We also remember a next generation of aviators, Marcus Paine, we lost too early that would have been this week in 2016 at an air show. We brought out an interview from 2012 with Marcus that captures the true Alaskan spirit of aviators who built Alaska.
