Sounds like some of the Bush pilots in Alaska. I wondered about the Piggly Wiggly. I thought it should be Winn Dixie.

If you lived in the south, you would understand it should be Piggly Wiggly.

Besides, WD got it's start in 1913 in Burley, Idaho, and didn't become Winn-Dixie Stores untill 1955. WD filed for Chapter 11 this year.

Piggly Wiggly got started in 1916 in Memphis, Tennessee, as Piggly Wiggly, and was the first self service grocery in the country. They are all franchised, independently owned stores, and primarily located in the southeast.

When I lived in Florida during WWII Winne Dixie was the big thing.
Bev and i visit both chains while in Hilton Head SC every Oct. The little Piggly in Colligney Plaza is my favorite. I hadn't left room for changes in the last 60 years. Hard to believe it is that long. I find the best part of being old is that I have lived that long and still here.

Where I come from -- hehe, Piggly Wiggly is/was an Airline

In fact, my first flight to CFS Inuvik was on PWA - Piggly Wiggly (Pacific Western Airlines) on a 737-200 Convertible...

I think CanJet is now flying that particular group of 737's.....
