Alaska - Basic Transportation
Island Air, flying out of Kodiak Island, Alaska, is home to the bravest pilots on the planet. Their mission is to move explorers and adventure seekers, hunters and anglers deep into the back country.

Alaska has 6 times more pilots per capita than any other place in the US contributing $3.8 billion to the state.

There are 7,933 active pilots, 2,801 airframe and power plant mechanics of which 750 have inspection authorizations, and 9,346 registered aircraft in Alaska.

The entire state has a population of less than 800,000. That's less than half the population of the greater Portland, Oregon, area. The Alaska pilot population is around 8,000. That means 1% of the state's residents are pilots.
