North to Alaska, the trip of a lifetime

by Marvin Homsley

The purpose of this trip was to meet some friends who were going to be in Homer, Alaska for a few days. I never imagined having so much fun along the way. This was the best few weeks I can remember. It started with winning an award at Oshkosh and now going on the trip I had wanted to make for years.

We don’t often see photos of Swift prop tip vapor swirls and this one is a particularly good one.
The fog had just cleared on this morning but the air was still quite saturated, hence the visible water vapor being formed at the prop tips.
The photo was taken by a friend who just happened to be in the right spot at the right time.

Polaczyk, regularly flew the plane while
working at a flight school near Detroit in the 40's.
Sixty-two years later, the Michigan resident had another
chance to pilot the plane, thanks to the plane's current
owner Bob Price of Stephens City, Virginia
