Birchwood Airport (BCV/PABV) is a public use State of Alaska Department of Transportation owned airport
Abe is originally from North Carolina and started flying during college after having some exposure to general aviation in his childhood with family members who had an airplane. He came to Alaska after college to work as a Mechanical Engineer for Airframes Alaska and Alaskan Bushwheel, where he spent five years (back when they were still located on Birchwood Airport). Currently he is the co-owner of Helio Alaska, Inc., a Birchwood-based aircraft company that holds the type certificate to the Helio Courier. Abe has spent a considerable amount of time at the Birchwood airport in recent years, both while working and flying out of it recreationally. He believes there is something special about Birchwood (beyond just the convenient central location and calm winds), and he is committed to supporting and maintaining that unique community spirit that we all share here
