Mckinley plane flight

 

 

We loaded up and took off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The day turned out to be a perfect day for flying around Mckinley with totally clear skies and the mountain was most definitely out today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We completed one complete rotation around Mckinley, then came in for a landing on the glacier.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shortly after we landed a small avalanche occurred up on the rock face and created an amazing waterfall of snow and ice down the face.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After about a half hour on the glacier we took off and headed back low just above the glacier.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After we got back I headed into town and got some cheap campsite for the night. That flight was cool but I was totally sick afterwards. No hurlage but the thought did cross my mind. The next morning I loaded up and headed to Seward after I had one last breakfast at the Roadhouse.
