Glacier Landing

glacier_landing_thumb.jpgLeslie and I boarded the Denali Star this morning and rode to Talkeetna, where we we had reservations on the Talkeetna Air Taxi for a little flightseeing around Mt. McKinley. On arriving we learned that they had upgraded us, at no extra charge, to a glacier landing. So here we are at the top of Ruth Glacier, standing in front of the lovely DeHavilland Beaver N144Q.

I got to ride in front and pretend to be co-pilot, but I noticed they didn't give me any rudder pedals.
