American Air Tour
We have 6 airplanes on this tour at this time. The tour is full and closed at this time. If you are interested in a tour to Alaska please contact us about a future tour.
Our 2022 Alaska Tour will take place from 6 June to 25 June. The tour will be broken up into three parts to give you more options. Parts one and three are flown in your own aircraft while part two is a train tour in Alaska. If you desire you, your friends, or family may take the Airlines up to Alaska and join us on part two of the tour only. We hope this flexibility will meet more of our friend’s schedules and desires. The tour will be a minimum of 5 airplanes limited to 7 airplanes maximum on the flying portion and the Train Tour will be limited to a maximum of 15 people.
Part One
North to Alaska
Monday 6 June Cut Bank Montana to Red Deer Alberta
We will meet at the Cut Bank Airport 10 AM make sure your flight plan and Eapis are filled out and filed correctly. Then you will fly to Lethbridge Alberta to clear customs then on to Red Deer Alberta to spend the night and have our Welcome dinner.
Tuesday 7 June Red Deer, Alberta to Dawson Creek, British Columbia
Today we will fly to Dawson Creek, this is a nice flight over the plains of British Columbia. After taking care of the aircraft we will go to Mile Marker “0” of the Alaskan Higrhway. We will also visit two museums in town they are both fantastic; however, the museum on the “Building of the Alaskan Highway” has the most information about the highway that I have found.
Wednesday 8 June Dawson Creek to Whitehorse Yukon
Today we will fly over 600 NM if the weather is willing! Enroute we will make two fuel stops, one in Ft Nelson and one at Watson Lake. The first third of the trip is over farmland and forest, then it is over more forest and starting into more mountainous terrain. Whitehorse is a great place to visit for a while with excellent museums, history, events, and the fish ladder.
Thursday 9 June Whitehorse A non flying day.
We will visit a few museums and other interest points in Whitehorse while allowing some time for everyone to get some rest, and enjoy the town.
Friday 10 June Whitehorse to Fairbanks Alaska
This will be a flying packed day for everyone. We will fly from Whitehorse to Northway Alaska where we will clear customs and if possible get fuel. If no fuel is available we will continue on to Tok Alaska to refuel. Then it is on to Fairbanks Alaska. This will end our trip up the Alaskan Highway but not our tour. We hope to get into Fairbanks in time go downtown to the Ice Museum and walk around the downtown area.
Saturday 11 June Fairbanks Alaska
Today is arrival day to Fairbanks. If you flew up with us hopefully we are there and today will be a relaxing day to visit the city or I have a couple of tricks up my sleeve if we need to get out and do something. For those flying in on Airlines and meeting us please let us know what time you will arrive and we will try to be there to meet you at the airport.
This will be a fun filled day for everyone today. We will start off with a visit to Pioneer Park and the Pioneer Aviation Museum. We will top off the evening with our farewell dinner at “The Alaskan Salmon Bake” This is my favorite place to eat in Fairbanks. This is also a weather day if we had trouble flying up to Fairbanks along the way we would arrive today.
Part one of our tour is now complete, I have found in the past to try to set a schedule with what we want to do and fly does not work out all the time so we will due a train/train tour for the next leg of our journey so we may stay on schedule with our wonderful activities we have planned. We hope you will join us for Part two “The Train Tour”.
Part Two

On our way to the big city. Anchorage has many activities to offer I have yet to visit Anchorage and not see a Moose walking around town somewhere. We will arrive late in the evening so we will hit the city in the morning.
Thursday 16 June Anchorage
We plan on spending some time near the downtown area. If you would like a bike ride on the Coastal Trail is a great experience. If you are interested in a flight to see the bears this is the place to do it. Again, we are happy to help you set up this extra excursion if you are interested in such an adventure.
Friday 17 June Anchorage to Seward
This is a beautiful ride down the coast and into Seward. Seward is the end of the train tracks and has spectacular views of the ocean. We will spend some time in town today and visit the Animal Rehabilitation Center.
Saturday 18 June Seward
It’s fishing day!!! Yes we will be getting up early and going out halibut fishing today. This is always an adventure and a lot of fun. While out fishing we will also be looking for whales to come up to the boat. If you would like to keep the fish you catch and send them home – they will clean them, flash freeze the fish, box them and overnight deliver them to your home for a fee. We always send fish home and it lasts two to three years in the freezer if we do not eat it up before that time. The fishing is included in the tour, sending fish home is an extra charge. We will also cook some of our fish for dinner, talk about fresh! If you are not interested in fishing please let us know so we can work another activity for you today.
Sunday 19 June Seward to Anchorage
We have most of the day in Seward today since our train does not leave until 6:00 PM. The trip back will be nice and another chance to get some pictures along the coast. We arrive in Anchorage at 10:15 PM.
Monday 20 June Anchorage
We have the day in Anchorage before we start back to Fairbanks. We will visit the Aviation Museum, and walk around Lake Hood Seaplane Base today. The rest of the oday is a free day for you to explore what you would like to do in the city or to venture out on your own. We would be glad to give you some ideas if you need them.
Tuesday 21 June Anchorage to Fairbanks
Our train leaves at 8:15 AM and will be a long day on the train. We have booked 1st class tickets for everyone today so you will have more room to move around, relax in the observation car, and meals are included.
