    Flying Wild Alaska aircraft?

    Does anybody know what the aircraft is that is shown on th opening cradits and at the commercial breaks? The one that is silver and clearlly has either a Ranger or LOM engine in it. Anybody have any stories, or knows the Twettos,or worked for them and have anystories about alaska flying. I think the show is a plus for aviation!!

    Tib67,
    What do they teach up there in Alaska schools; moose hunting or looking at Russia?
    Certainly not spelling. Everyone knows it is kradits, not cradits.

    I think it's just an art department cartoon. Note how the "trailing edge" of the top-down view is rounded, and the rudder has a Spad-like trailing edge....
