Those pictures are worth the time it takes to download. Couldn't stop looking. The one place in the world I want to go back to see.

I've been trying to figure out who this guy is and how he is funding the trip.

That way, I can do the same thing! :)

Anyone know? Using the wonders of google my best guess is that he is an anesthesiologist from SoCal.

George-
That is probably the best collection of Alaska flying pictures I've seen.

I don't know, but judging from his other blogs (Corvettes, Hogs, Skiing in the Alps etc.) he is putting his money to good use!!! :twisted:

I don't know if I should or not, but I thought I'd give a little 'headsup/update'... I'm going back through the forum archives reading different places and gleaning information. I came across this thread. And upon opening the link, saw that he died in 2008 doing what he loved, flying in Alaska. There is a bit of info on it at the top of the window when you open the link. For what it's worth I thought I'd bring it up again...
