Wildlife Service Pilots Ferrying Ships from Seattle to Anchorage
Ray Renshaw, of Ketchikan, and Grenold Collins, of Anchorage, are slated to leave Seattle as soon as weather permits, enroute to Anchorage ferrying two new patrol planes for the Alaska Game Commission here, it was announced today by Frank Dufresne, executive officer of the game board.
The planes, secured after much delay because of defense priorities regulating the delivery of aircraft, are a Fairchild four-place and a Monocoupe two-place. Both are to be used from the Anchorage headquarters of the Game Commission.
The planes are now on wheels, Dufresne said, with pontoons for them being shipped to Anchorage.
The men will fly the ships north by way of Prince George, Whitehorse, Fairbanks, then south to Anchorage. Renshaw will remain in Anchorage several days doing overhaul work on Fish and Wildlife Service planes, before returning by commercial airways to Juneau.
