142 Magic Bus Flightseeing Tour

Your adventure will begin at our private helipad where you will take off and soar over the Nenana River and fly into the Alaskan Wilderness. Fly over the Denali nature under the guidance of professional Alaska expert pilots. From there, land just off the Stampede Trail, a mining road blazed in the 1930s only to be abandoned in 1963 after deeming the terrain impassable due to permafrost and seasonal floods. Left behind on this renounced trail, though, is Fairbanks Bus 142: a makeshift shelter retrofitted with bunks, and a wood stove for those construction workers hired to clear the path. This shelter that later became a home.

What to expect:

• 40 to 45 minutes of helicopter time
• 25 to 30 minutes exploring the bus and its surroundings

What you need to know:

• Be prepared for Alaskan weather; dress in layers
• To ensure the safety and comfort of all guests, backpacks, purses, iPads/tablets, selfie sticks, drones, and other items of the sort are not permitted aboard the helicopter.
• Cameras and a sense of adventure are welcome!
