Alaska is a state full of aviation geeks, or 'AvGeeks.' In addition to the large number of private pilots who call Alaska home, there are dozens of commercial operators that haul passengers, mail and freight from Kaktovik to Ketchikan, Kotzebue and King Salmon. These are the sky truckers of the Last Frontier. Last week, the Alaska Air Carriers Association , or AACA, gathered at AvGeek Central: the Alaska Aviation Museum , on the shore of Lake Hood in Anchorage. Walking through the museum, you'll see planes hanging from the ceiling and other planes, like a Grumman Goose, that are big enough to set up a picnic under a wing.
