Mary Koppes / Petersburg Pilot

Petersburg resident and frequent flyer Dave Kensinger (left) was honored by Alaska Airlines Manager David Booker on Wednesday morning, before taking off on flight 65. Kensinger has flown over one million miles with Alaska Airlines. Booker said he recalled only one other Petersburg resident, the late John Winther, achieving this status. Kensinger said he flies to Seattle a lot for his business and his best advice to his fellow passengers is to "travel light."
