- Hovercraft: Arctic Efficient
- Description
- Mail service in southwestern Alaska has continued to prove challenging to the U.S. Postal Service. Although airplanes continue to carry mail to many remote Alaskan areas, the hovercraft has proven successful in delivering more mail, more often, to the state's Yukon Tuspaquin Delta Region. This video demonstrates the service in action.
