Talkeetna Air Taxi (TAT) is the oldest air taxi of its kind in Talkeetna. TAT was founded in 1947 and was originally named Talkeetna Air Service by Don Sheldon, a legendary bush pilot who gained fame as the pioneer of glacier landings and mountain rescues in and around Denali. Several other aviators well known in the industry and throughout Alaska have owned TAT, including Lowell Thomas, Jr., former lieutenant governor of Alaska and son of the famous broadcaster.
