I occasionally get asked for pictures from a variety of companies/organizations, but I have so many of the years that it is somewhat overwhelming to sort through. So I finally got around to starting to upload stuff to a flickr account. I am hoping once this is organized it will help streamline the process. I figured you guys here may enjoy.

The pictures from around the coast close to Yakutat bring back a lot of good times!!
Did you get down in the bottom of the Barge?? Open any of the conex's still there?
Some from the Forelands are great!
Thanks

Great photos!

Its amazing how many folks have been to or over flown that boat on the beach. I often wonder what the story is with it? Anyone know? We fly over that thing at least twice a season running our helicopters to and from Juneau / Cordova. That beach holds some nice great glass balls. Of course that beach goes on for miles...

Great photos... it sure looks like you guys have some pretty amazing adventures!

I enjoyed talking with you guys and checking out the planes at the Rocky Mountain Light Sport Expo a few weeks back. I was definitely impressed with the performance of both the Carbon Cub and the Maule as you guys left ahead of that storm (those things gets off the ground almost like a helicopter -- particularly the CC).

It is funny every person I have talked to familar with the area or has visited mentions going there. And we thought we were special. It was really neat though.

Well I didn't, not a big fan of rusty wet dark holes, but my Girlfriend didn't hesitate and vanished for a few minutes. I don't think we realized there were any Containers down there. Anyone know the story of the that ship?

Very nice!

Looks like I'm not the only one doing aerial spelunking. (Not the ship, the caves....)

Not the whole story, has been there a very long time, It is a barge, that lost it's tow in a storm in the Gulf of AK and that's where it ended up!
Has been near the water and then far away, almost covered up and then sticking out of the sand almost completely?

Great pics!! Like a log book, but better.

Carry your camera everyone, can't put a price on having great pics.

Wow! Thanks for sharing your amazing pics. Beautiful!

I think pretty much any one of them would win Picture of the Week!

probably not this year. My Girlfriend took an on call citation gig and we haven't really gotten a feel for the schedule.
