Hi from Fairbanks Alaska!!! Tom and Bonnie Lewis, Martin and Claudia Sutter and Bill and Debby Scanlan are part of a LetsFlyAlaska air tour with our RV7a's.
We have had a great trip so far. We have been flying number 9, 10 & 11 in a line of 12 airplanes. It is a little like being at the whip lash end of a conga line. The first day was bumpy so it was hard to get used to adjusting to the changing speeds of the line of airplanes as we all bounced up and down. The next two days have been much easier. We have had great weather for our first three days so the scenery has been beautiful. We have seen mountains, glaciers, rivers, lakes, moose, swans and bald eagles from the air. All while maintaining position in the line of airplanes. Our first night was in Quesnel, B.C. We stayed in a really quaint old hotel. We took a beautiful walk along a wide rushing river. The second night we stayed in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. We went to a silly "Follies" performance. In Fairbanks, we are staying in a beautiful resort. We went on a river boat cruise today and are on to Anchorage tomorrow. It is a good group of people flying a Mooney, a C182RG, a Comanche single and a twin, a Baron, and 3 Bonanzas.
Check out these pictures.
