Alaska Review 18
In the first segment, Mark O.

Those interviewed include: Gene Morris, FAA accident prevention coordinator; Jim Dodson of the Air Carriers Association; Bill Bauman, air charter pilot; Jake Johnson, member of the Alaska Transportation Commission; and Dean Karrel of Alaska Travel Air. The program contains views of Alaska airports and airplane wreckage sites. The second segment, "The Homestead Initiative: Free Land?" is a repeat broadcast from another Alaska Review program (AAF-4959). The program also contains Public Service Announcements (PSAs) about forest fire prevention and carpooling.
