AOPA Presents Premiere | Wings of the Iditarod

[@MichelleLovesToFly]

Wow! Thank you for such a well shot and well told story…I’ve always loved the Iditarod and watched and read all sorts of stories about it. But I’ve never had the privilege of learning that much about the IAF. Thank you for sharing this and I agree with someone who commented above…I could’ve watched 2 more hours of it 👏👏👏

great video!

[@BillThacker-vs6dv]

Once again AOPA, you knocked it out of the park with another great story and video. Thanks!

[@jared4483]

I could have watched that for two more hours. Great job!

[@spectrotekservices]

Excellent video! Kudos to the crew that produced this video. And special thanks to everyone involved with the race and for supporting it.

An example of the Real America and its people. Great Video, AOPA!

[@juanflyer8443]

This was simply put... Awesome! I really hope your team (to many to mention) gets the recognition it deserves for an amazing story. This is why I love Dogs, Alaska and my little Piper Cherokee. Thank you again for putting this together and so very well done.

Excellent Video! Good writing, good interviews, good info, and enjoyable! Well done and produced. (To be straight up, I think AOPA vids have been, and gotten, so PC for quite a while now, that I don’t usually watch them anymore, or just cringe and take what I can from them on occasion.) A pleasant surprise and a step in the right direction. Good job Alicia, Jamal, & Chris! Keep it up! (PS I’m not referring to ASI vids, which are always excellent!)

Includes all the attributes of good video making.

Would have liked to learn a little bit more about the race itself, but by and large this is a very interesting little documentary, very well produced!

Great video! Why no helicopters? Too expensive?

[@warner6495]

That’s a great question. Speed, range, useful load and poor weather conditions usually benefit fixed wing planes but I’d imagine the biggest determining factor is indeed the operating costs.

[@marlinweekley51]

Did he say 1000 lbs of dog food for each dog for 10 days? Thats 100 lbs a day! How and when can they eat that much? 😳

[@shellysilverberg4186]

The dogs eat about 10,000 calories per day. Truly amazing!

[@marlinweekley51]

@@shellysilverberg4186 for sure - wow

[@warner6495]

Yup! Each dog consumes 12,000 calories per day. The foods consist of high fats like lard mixed in with their stew. Super athletes!

[@caldodge]

I think he miscalculated the amount per dog. There are about 1000 dogs in the race. That's 50 pounds per dog.

[@marlinweekley51]

@@caldodge that makes more sense
