I'm glad you all enjoyed it. As much fun as it was making the video in iMovie, it was truly amazing to be out flying around having the opportunity to experience the backcountry. GA in the AK wilderness is a special privilege.
Yes, Hans has a fire-breathing, fuel-injected, 200 HP husky. It was a George Mandes custom factory plane that is beautiful in all respects. I have flown it and she really is a homesick angel.
There was a double rainbow that day up in the Wrangells. The beaver flew in to pick up my friends who had been out hiking for a week. Our friend Lars was at the controls of the beaver and expertly flew in and out of the strip like he does that several times a day, day in and day out....wait...that is what he does.
Here's a picture of the beaver under the rainbow. By the time I took this one, sadly the double rainbow was gone.
