Village boy, 3, takes commuter flight

TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 2002

A three-year-old boy from the Alaska village of Scammon Bay took a one-hour, 150-mile commuter flight on Saturday.

Trevor Amukon was allowed to board alone because the pilot thought he belonged to one of two adult passengers. One of the passengers thought he belonged to the other.

When the plane landed in Bethel an hour later, they finally figured everything out. Trevor was returned to his family within three hours.
