With the Airman's Show just around the corner, I figured I'd better get off my ass and finish the film that I shot last year at just about this time. Get some popcorn and settle in. At 25 min, its a commitment. Not Citizen Kane, but fun none the less... I hope you guys enjoy it as much as we had making it.

Re: Exploring Alaska (The Film)
That was a very enjoyable 25 minutes. Well done.
I'd always kind of wondered what the big deal was about flying in Alaska. Now I get it.
Thanks for sharing.

Awesome, Greg and Larry!
You really captured that kid-in-a-candy-store feeling that flying in Alaska when the weather's beautiful brings. Sweet!

Great video that makes me want to visit Alaska even though I already live here.

Squash- I was thinking the same thing. Cool video.
Yakataga has some cool history. Some of it still there.

I was sitting at the airport and spotted this guy related to the video.

Re: Exploring Alaska (The Film)
Excellent Show Greg! 
I like the length. So many vids that people are putting together are 3-6 minutes long. This one challenged my attention span

Re: Exploring Alaska (The Film)
So here is how my day has gone:
Me: Honey, you want to watch a video about flying in Alaska?
Her: No. Those flying videos are boring after a couple of minutes.
Me: Ok, I'll just turn it on and skip through the boring parts.
Her: grrrrrrr
25 minutes later.......
Her: That's my favorite part of Alaska! I love that music! I love the Wrangell Mountains!! We need another Go Pro! What kind of camera was that?! I want to land there! We need a more capable airplane! We're getting a 180!!
Thanks Greg!
