Alex Dupuis submitted this photo and note: “My 1958 PA-18A departing Eklutna Lake strip in Alaska’s Chugach State Park. Friends were still asleep as I snuck out to the plane, fired up, and took off near the camp sight. The gang awoke with the engine start up and they grabbed their phones to document the departure and off I went.”
