Recommended Posts

With Flickr chasing me to become a pro and if not reduce my images so far posted, I thought I had get these on for your perusal . After a splendid flight from Anchorage to Homer in Era`s DC3 it was time for a flip in the wonderful Travel Air 6000B out of Katchamak . This aircraft had an incredible design team in the guise of Walter Beech, Clyde Cessna and one Lloyd Stearman!

Great shots. My wife and I had a journey from our son's home in Lacombe, between Calgary and Edmonton in Alberta, up to Vancouver by the Rocky Mountaineer train, then onto a cruise ship stopping off at various places in Alaska. As I love seaplanes we took a round flight from and back to Ketchikan over the Ghost Mountains, landing a mountain top lake and back to the harbour at Ketchikan and back onto the ship. Although not classic a couple of photo's.............

Our plane is N37756 in the back ground and then ....just landed on the mountain top lake....

We then got out and walked along the floats.

Plus a small settlement outside Ketchikan...
