Just on the other side of the Glenn Highway, a local group created a group of duck ponds, and only pilots that fly over know that they look like a peace sign. The are really good for turns around a point.

Here are some pictures from my cross country up to Talkeetna:

Here is a picture of Denali:

On my way home for graduation I took a lot of pictures, those are still to come. The first picture is of my dad, and the captain before they take the ship to Sitka. The second picture is of tour busses on the barge before going to Skagway. They were really aways up there.

Here are some from when I went on a trip on Prince William Sound on the FVF Fairweather, while he was training more engineers on the high speed ferry.
Here we are getting ready to enter the Valdez Harbor. The harbor has some a speed limit to it, and it is very strictly enforced. The Coast Guard will nail you if you go to fast, as some people on the boat have learned

This is looking at the Valdez oil terminal.

Pulling into Cordova:

The wing of the bridge:

Now back to aviation:
Here is the schools glider.

The States Beaver.

The States PC-7.

I have more pictures from Prince William Sound that I will edit and upload later.

Here are some pictures from my long cross country:
Here I am leaving Kenai, heading north:

Preparing to cross Cook Inlet. The engine sounds different when over water.

On my way to an intersection:

Looking back towards Kenai:

Looking towards Whittier:

Mountains off the right wing:

Now over land once again:

Anchorage International:

A couple mountain shots while avoiding the restricted airspace. These shots give you an idea how close I get to the mountains.

Working on staying on the correct side of the Glenn Highway.

Eagle River:

On departure from Wasilla back to Palmer:

Looking towards the Knik glacier.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures.
