Very nice -- they "Palin" comparison to Kansas.

Suggest you resubmit these in the General Discussion section so more CFers can enjoy.

Awesome pics!!!

I'm actually moving to Faibanks in the spring (Eielson AFB actually), but everyone is telling me it's no place to take the c5. Looks like she's going into long term hibernation

i disagree 100% Fairbanks is the BEST city to have a corvette. Anchorage sucks because there is so much effin traffic you cant really get out open and enjoy it, the 3 lane one ways are horrible, i hate it. Fairbanks on the otherhand is setup much better and is about 20-25 minutes from Eielson, a regular drive for practically everyone that lives there. Not much traffic and plenty of straight stop lights with 2 lanes for you know what. You'll like it, not many c5s here, so you'll be breaking some necks, and the local wiggers/rice can be smoked with partial throttle haha. Plus the 24 hours of daylight in the summer is like nothing else in the world.

Beautiful!!

We just got back from a two week road trip. Flew into Anchorage, and drove down to Seward for a cruise. Then drove all the way of to North Pole Alaska while hitting all the nice spots along the way.

It was great!
