Flying to Alaska | Lethbridge Customs After landing at Lethbridge, the first order of business is, of course, clearing customs. It was relatively easy. After the paperwork, the customs agent came out to the plane to make sure I had survival gear. They then issued me a permit to be displayed on the inside of the windshield. Thunderstorms blocked my route northwest to the Alaskan Highway. It was a good day and a nice night in Lethbridge.
Today’s Highlights… The takeoff at Williston made for some excitement in the cockpit due to the rising terrain just to the west of the airport. Also, clearing Canadian customs in an airplane for the first time was interesting.
