Some things sound more fun on paper than in reality. Getting paid to fly around the Eastern Alaska Range and it's northern tundra foothills is not one of those things.

I don't know my planes at all, but this one was pretty good size; 4-seater with the pilot.

The flap in the picture isn't straight like a 185 or a 172, it has a angle in the back like a 206/207.

Wow! That's some pretty amazing stuff!

It's actually kinda funny that on the one hand, all of those pictures look so completely familiar - I can easily tell you exactly where he would have been standing to take each shot. On the other hand, I never get tired of the sights up there - I could stare at those pictures all day.

You mean, Moose, I could conceivably hire you as my guide when I come up there?

Also, did you see the discussion that followed? Ben shares some of the precautions he took. Which may be second nature for you folks, but to us Californians....
