When Alaska got its wings
Standard began a tradition of putting aviation fuel where it’s needed
The sturdy biplane labored down the runway and flew—into history. For
Alaska’s first airmail flight did more than cut 22 days from dog team
schedules, it blazed a sky trail for Alaskan progress.
Standard was part of it. We fueled that filst airmail trip in 1924, as
we did commercial flights years before. In aviation, as in a score of
other fields, Standard men and Standard products have been where
they were needed to help Alaska grow.
Today this faith in Alaska shows up in the network of Standard
aviation facilities that helps keep Alaska’s sky highways open for
40 airlines and hundreds of independent pilots. Whether he’s flying
a light plane or an intercontinental liner, a pilot in Alaska knows
he’s never far from Standard’s products.
