Different times; flying outdated equipment without the weather/condition reporting available today. Not sure what your point is. The Alaska aviation community is evolving from the old "bush pilot" mentality. There is no fishing or hunting trip worth putting yourself or passengers at risk because of sketchy decisions. There is no good reason any pilot should take unnecessary risks to deliver soda pop and paper towels to villages. Running out of fuel; scud running; intentionally entering IMC while VFR is unacceptable behavior and unprofessional as a pilot. True, Bob Reeve made his place in Alaska aviation history along with many other. However, many of them also met their end doing many of the things Bob did.
