I did many simulated flameout approaches to Eielson AFB, AK (26 mi SE of
Fairbanks) back in the 70s. Does that count? Naaaah... Those were just
sleigh rides.

Just got back from a trip to Alaska. The mountains and scenery are
spectacular. Is there any soaring in Alaska? If yes, where? Thanks,

The video was actually taken in VA but the young pilot has moved to
Fairbanks.
Yes, there is soaring and the mountains are spectacular ... but no clubs
or commercial operations due to insurance issues.

I just ran with her name due to the lack of other identifiers in the
video. Gee, and I thought I found a secret soaring spot;^) After a
little more digging, the video was indeed done at Shenandoah Valley
Soaring.
Thanks Pete,
