AOPA Presents Premiere | Wings of the Iditarod

--
In the heart of Alaska, where the wild stretches far beyond the reach of the ordinary, lies a testament to endurance, courage, and the unbreakable bond between human and dog. This is the Iditarod, the world’s most famous sled dog race, tracing a century-old route between Anchorage and Nome. It’s not just a race; it’s an homage to the 1925 serum run, a life-saving mission against all odds.

To capture the spirit and essence of general aviation, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association digital content team is launching a new video series titled “AOPA Presents.” These mini documentaries will bring alive monumental aviation events, the history of aircraft, and unique aviation stories.

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 👏👏👏

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

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.

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

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?

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? 😳
