message: First off, methinks the importance level for WP:ALASKA needs reassessment, if not the existing assessment of the article in general.  Second, the article doesn't do justice to his later life.  Overall, it's as if this were written by someone who is such a fanatical aviation buff, that they fail to realize that there's usually more than one dimension to any given subject.
The reference to Reeve's political career is somewhat misleading.  The territorial governor was appointed by the president of the United States, not an elected position.  Reeve did challenge Bob Bartlett for the position of congressional delegate, which was an elected position.  This may also have been in 1952, but I don't have those sources handy right now.  I do know that in their debates, Bartlett took Reeve to task for the anti-government stances he took, contending that Reeve built RAA predominately on government contracts.
Only somewhat related to politics is the fact that one of his earliest pilots from back in the Valdez days was Bill Egan.  Egan would later describe himself as "the world's worst pilot."  This particular career didn't last very long.  In the late 1930's, Egan's new girlfriend, Neva McKittrick, would convince him to give up flying.
In spite of things such as that, it wouldn't take much additional effort for this to become a GA or something close.RadioKAOS (talk) 07:21, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: (Postscript: Found an old photo in the book Alaska Then and Now, which confirms that KCAP did in fact become KBYR.  Whether or not Reeve was actually involved in any way with this radio station remains to be resolved by further research, which I haven't had the time for as of yet.)

text: Now I'm really beginning to suspect that more work is needed.  In , Reeve was one of the participants involved in roasting Merle K. "Mudhole" Smith at the Elks Club in Cordova in 1973.  In the photo of the assembled group (including such aviation legends as Jack Jefford, Ray Petersen, John Cross and Sig and Noel Wien), Reeve is shown to have only one eye.  No mention of that in the article, either. RadioKAOS  –  Talk to me, Billy  19:16, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
