A Tourist Flying Around Alaska

I found a bunch of video clips from Alaska that I had forgotten about. Nothing to brag about, but if you are thinking of flying up there, here are some options you can do and see.

Nice.
Dylan was a nice touch :)
Cordova, Hitchinbrook, and Copper River Area?
Alaska is a long ways away, but I'm going to do the stretch from Haines/Skagway up the coast to Cordova.
Weather was plain lousy last time I was up there.
At least you had good weather.... for AK anyway :)

Happy New Year

Re: A Tourist Flying Around Alaska

I've got to say your video is freaking awesome. As I've said in other threads my wife and I moved back to SD in mid September(closer to kids and grand kids) from Delta Junction. Not a day goes by that I don't miss Alaska, especially flying up there. We are trying to figure out how to spend summers up there, but as we aren't ready to retire its a bit difficult. At one point in your video it almost brought tears to my eyes as I think I recognized a spot or two.

Anyways, Clear Skies,

Re: A Tourist Flying Around Alaska

Great movie! Picture this three year old sitting on his dad's lap on the high kitchen table watching the entirity of this movie and commenting on it... "daddy the propelly is slowing down... now its going faster...now its landing...is that an helicopter...now he's taking off...what's that daddy....what this daddy... " full 8 minutes of this while mom is hearing it while baking in the kitchen then came "mommy can we get an airplane like this"... this movie turned out to be awesome leverage power because mommies want no less than the best for their kids right!!

Thanks for sharing,

Cheers, BCT
