Episode 2
This is The Blue Tarp, stories from Alaska’s Northern Susitna Valley as told by those who lived them. For this season, we’re focusing on aviation in the area, particularly the stories told by and about women in the field. The first episode of season three was less focused on the Susitna Valley than usual, but we felt it necessary to provide some context as to how a large influx of women got into aviation in the first half of the twentieth century. For this episode, we’re going to bring things back to the Northern Valley and talk about both the early days of aviation in the area and what it means to fly in this special place. As always, whether you’re an old-timer or a newcomer, there’s room under The Blue Tarp for everyone.
