Not Often...
Not often is there an opportunity to take a photo of
another DC6 out on the job. So when it does happen there is usually one
lucky fella with a camera handy. This time it was not Kenny but he is the
one flying the plane in these photos. From the left seat might I add.
Photos complements of another flight crew member who wants
to remain anonymous.

T.G.I.F.
Not doctored or photo-shopped! Just in the right place at the right time.
Have a great weekend!

Mt. McKinley
Top picture is Mt. Foraker on left at 17,400 ft., and Mt McKinley on the right at 20,320 ft. The lower picture is Mt McKinley alone, and clearly shows both of its peaks. The south and north peaks are collectively known as the Churchill Peaks.

Lucky Me
Do I ever wish I had been a shop-teacher? Yeah, some days I do. But then I have days like this and think 'How lucky am I, to be doing a job as cool as this?'

Returning from Dutch Harbor
What a lineup!
I think this is Mt Veniaminof again. I know what you are wondering...is that steam? Yes, yes it is. Pretty good view from the top of the world...

Here We Go...
First off, a big Thank You to my number one fan for getting me back to my post!
If memory and my handy charts agree, this is Mt Veniaminof, on the Aleutian chain. We did a recent trip to Dutch Harbor (a.k.a. - Unalaska) When the weather is nice I get to take these sweet photos!

Low Level Fog
Flew over some low lying fog on the way to Alpine. It's always neat to see it form out over the ocean. My favorite is when it looks like a wall of fog, with nothing the naked eye can see to explain why the fog stopped right there. It just looks cool. Next time I get a picture of it I'll post it.

Sling-Load
At this point I decided helicopters might be cooler than I previously indicated.
No they did not disappear, it was a nice clear blue day. Captured for posterity. Or possibly I was aiming my camera on the fly for another helicopter photo and missed it, the world may never know.
