SQ2'n to Alaska

Did you fly somewhere cool, take photos, and feel like telling the tale to make us drool from the confines of our offices? Post them up!

@ Barnstormer

I am really enjoying this thread and your photos. I doubt very many of us have ever had the opportunity to fly in a cool plane like yours on such a long trek to Alaska.

It is almost like a script for a Hollywood adventure movie. I am really looking forward to your Canadian and Alaskan images.

I wish you continued good luck and fine weather during your trip.

Love the pictures but all that flat land makes this British Columbia boy nervous.
Thanks for sharing and have a good flight.

I'm with you, boring. Did see a bunch of Pronghorn so that was something. Quick breakfast and I'm back in the air. Short flight today headed for Bozeman or if that closes out then Miles City.
