Don "Beau" Owens
Seven years ago I flew into the Wrangell St Elias National Park with Wrangell Air and from that moment on I wanted to fly in Alaska.
The landscape and weather extremes add to this last frontier.
​
I was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas. My parents were adventure seekers and I am following in their example.
​
My wife and I now live on Kodiak Island where I fly for Island Air. Come experience life on the frontier with us.
