Awesome awesome awesome. I don't recognize any of it so I'm assuming thats on the other side of the hill from where we usually fly. The Kamishak is about as far as we go on that side of the mountains.

Great! I especially like the first 15 seconds, 'cause I just love the sound of a big ol' round engine coming to life.

Great footage, and I assume that was Dire Straits on the audio track. Good combo. I did notice that most of the flying was in overcast conditions, but the static pictures of the plane in the water were all sunshine and blue skies. Does that mean it's always better when you stop flying? :?

Yep, that's all shot from Hallo Bay & Hallo Glacier down to Geographic Harbor...

Sometimes it seems just like that...

Yeah, that's on my list of areas to spend some time flying around...
