Thinking about trip to FAI for Nrthrn Lights, either Jan or Mar. Short trip- maybe 2-3 nites at most. Beyond somewhat warmer weather in March what are things to consider. Up on Alaskan so probably thru ANC one-way or another. (award trip via AA).

I'll be flying into ANC very late May 29th and flying out the afternoon of June 7th. I have no plans as to what I'll be doing there as of yet.

I recall a trip not so long ago to frigid Fairbanks in March where it was absolutely clear. The lights never came on. YMMV:rolleyes:
We saw no lights and froze our butts. :td: |

On the off chance...
I don't know if anyone is around flying late Thursday night/Friday morning in ANC? Arriving from the Peninsula on the last flight of the night at 22:00 but have a long wait until my 0240 departure to the lower 48 - and working in the BR can only last so long at that time of night after a full day of work. If anyone is around that would like to meet up, please let me know.

That same trip had a night in Chena Hot Springs that was completely overcast with clouds. Although you remember Fairbanks as frigid, I tend to remember the 30 below with a cutting wind that we had the next morning in Chena Hot Springs. :rolleyes:
We saw no lights and froze our butts. :td: SeeYa and I had fun at the ice sculpture park, and I think everyone enjoyed the skijoring, so it wasn't a complete loss of a trip. :) |

Since Jackal updated his signature not too long ago to keep our calendars clear for end of July. Any chance we will have a DO thread when he returns from BOM? Looking forward to start booking
