Since I was a child when my family travelled from Sudan to Italy and vice versa with the legendary turboprop aircraft spitting flames from their exhaust pipes one of the most exciting aspects of the trip for the privileged scenery I could see from high above was for me the landing ..
This is the perfect landing in the airport of the city of Fairbanks after a 21 hours flight approx. from Venice (Italy) Amsterdam (Holland) and Seattle (Washington State_USA) in the city undisputed homeland of our Mushing Sleddog Sport founded at the beginning of 1900 by the Italian gold seeker from Fanano (Modena) >> FELICE PEDRONI alias “Felix Pedro” !!

All right here in Fairbanks are the 5 am (we are 10 hours behind Italy here !) and after a few hours of sleep here I am awake because of jetlag from time zone .. there are about 15° degrees below zero centigrade .. pretty "warm" here;-)) and 15 cm of snow (just enough and the standard here in the center of the 'Alaska ..) //
Yesterday we arrived on time at 16:30 local time (2:30 a.m. in the morning today in Italy) after 21 hours since my departure from Venice ... although in Seattle (where I had a range of only 1 hour and a half ! ) I had to run like a rocket between endless but fortunately fast queue to immigration > withdrawal of my checked baggage > customs (without any problem ..) and return of the checked bag in the next aircraft > 4 changes of train/shuttle that takes you from one terminal to the others > boarding the flight at exactly 20 minutes from the start to Fairbanks !
Halfway By plane from Seattle to Fairbanks (flight total of 3 hours and 30 min.) a passenger felt ill, the flying crew took out a defibrillator DAE and the captain asked if there was a doctor on board. A woman / doctor showed up and I have given my immediate availability to assist as a Red Cross volunteer certified BLSD. Luckily, the passenger felt better and there has not been need to take any action! .. IS PRICELSS the gratitude and appreciation that the flight crew has shown us for our availability when we arrived in Fairbanks before leaving the 'plane . Thanks to the experience acquired with my awesome Red Cross Tarvisio Team collegues ...
In few hours I will meet Lance Mackey and Della Severtson to organize a press conference Thursday to announce the collaboration between the legendary Food for Dogs SANYPET - Forza10, FORZA10 USA 100% Natural and Made in Italy and our International School Mushing - Sleddog Int'l School in Tarvisio (Udine) and our Region Friuli Venezia Giulia Tourism Organization ... with Lance Mackey' s incredible sleddog team that won the extraordinary Iditarod and Yukon Quest races 4 times in the same year !!
