We went to the beach yesterday

Made this little edit yesterday after a quick flight out to the beach. Some of you may recognize this place as its the beach where many go during the Valdez May Day fly-in. Not much snow down low this year and the weather has been superb! We have actually not seen a cloud in the sky for 21 days and counting now...Anyway, this is video is kinda cool and shows where we spend our winter here in Cordova AK.

Keep the country country!

Extraordinaire!

Question:

Do you fly generally part 91 or 135 up there?

That was a stellar video with the music to match!
