VFR in Southeast.

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!

VFR in Southeast.

How could I not take a trip to Southeast Alaska during some VFR days. Took these yesterday, headed back home in the morning.

I took this photo because of the waterfall- wishing there was someplace I could land next to it. Alas, I don't have a float plane.

Had to "bag" some strips on the way down. There is actually a practical side to my bagging (other than getting out for a pee) and that's so I've been to these strips before- so the next time I find myself in a one mile clear of clouds situation I know what to expect and where they are. Took this picture at Cordova. Strip has water on one side and a road on the other, and wind coming from opposite directions at each end of the strip.

A million places to explore. Not enough time, not enough money, not enough gas.

Hundreds of miles of unending beach.

And then somehow I flew past Saturn.

Second to last stop, Sitka.

Who knew I'd need to relocate to Barrow just to get cool evenings so I can sleep!

I've always been called by the sea.

I want it. How cool would it look in front of my cabin.
