OT - Misty Fiords

Linda and I are on a cruise ship near the Hubbard Glacier up the inlet from Yakatat - PAYA - right now.

Yesterday we were in Ketchikan and took a flight in a Beaver float plane to Misty Fiords National Monument. The bird was build in 1952, a few months before I was born. We landed on one of the lakes and I got to sit in the right hand seat for the flight back. The Beaver has a glass panel with a GPS which looks one heck of a lot like the FS2004 GPS screen and a PFD. About 4-5 inches across.

Theses are a couple pics. We flew on N5160G, not the plane in this photo.

Looking good, Reggie. Great fun! We all envy you in the right seat of the Beaver... :cool:

A consistent think from the tour guides on the cruise.

"Eagles are not born bald or with their head white."
