Aug 7 - Pictures from the Talkeenta airport and the plane
Still have videos to put
up
Here is the video I shot ( my first YouTube upload and imbed)
Marina got to sit as the co-pilot and even had responsibility for
turning on and off the oxygen at the pilot's instructions:
She had the best seat for pictures since she could take through the
front windshield:
The Mountain, and the Ruth Glacier
Probably the best picture of the Mountain
The Ruth Glacier seen here, and is an area planes can land if equipped
with skis
Lower down the Glacier this is most definitely not the case:
Another view of the Ruth Glacier
This view is looking from a perspective that the North side is to the
right of the picture and is the portion of the Park that the road goes
through. You can see that the overcast never lifted
I have no idea how snow can stick to a slope this steep. The pilot said
if you were walking along the ridge and one fell, you had to jump off
the other side!!! The landing video:
