Trip 2 Arial View Sept 2011



 
 

The beautiful views
 
And the reality.  You can see where a plane crashed in the past.  The pilot told them about the wind currents and short cuts through the mountains.  The wind is sometimes so strong it pushes them right in the mountain.  Sometimes they can't see and they run right into the ground.  Obviously you have to be a very cautious and skilled pilot to fly Alaska.  Their chopper pilot was about 35 and had only been flying about 5 or 6 years.  George and Dave said they felt very secure with him.  Dave also has a pilot license but George is forbidden to fly with him.  Sorry Dave.
