moving to pick it up. In making this flight we crossed the Arctic Circle qualifying us to be declared Trusty Blue Nose members. I still have my Blue Nose card endorsed by none other than Neptune Rex, ruler of the
raging main and signed by PPC B. J. Moynahan. I was doubly blessed by Ole Rex because a few months later we were to cross the International Dateline. No cards were forthcoming in that event. I don't remember if
another crew made the flight with us or not, nor whether other crews made subsequent flights into Fairbanks. Please respond if you made this trip. As I recall the scenery was just beautiful going up to Fairbanks.
