    . Welcome to our Alaska adventure, where we take to the skies with friends and capture the beauty of the Last Frontier from a unique perspective. We're flying in a Cessna 172 as the photo airplane, with the talented Deon Mitton behind the lens. Deon is a professional photographer with a keen eye for capturing the perfect shot, and has a wealth of experience in air to air photography and formation flying.
    Our pilot, Jordan, is no stranger to the skies. As a member of the Coast Guard, he flies helicopters and is based in Kodiak. He's a true bush pilot and backcountry pilot, with a wealth of experience in bush flying and flying in Alaska. He's bringing his wife Heather, who works for Life Flight, and their beloved dog Griff along for the ride. Nick, a 747 pilot, is also joining us on this adventure. Together, we're exploring the stunning mountains of Alaska, with glaciers, clouds, and beautiful sunset colors as our backdrop.
    We're flying around the majestic mountains of Alaska, with glaciers, clouds, and beautiful sunset colors as our backdrop. Each day is a new adventure as we search for the perfect shot and explore the incredible landscape. We're constantly in awe of the natural beauty that surround us and are always working to capture it in the best possible way using the angle of attack and other photography tips and ideas we've learned from our online ground school.
    We'll take you on a journey through the skies, where you'll see the vast expanse of glaciers, the rugged terrain of the mountains, and the stunning colors of the sunset. We'll also introduce you to the people who make it all possible, including Jordan, Heather, Nick, and Deon. You'll get to see their passion for flying and photography, and how they work together to capture the perfect shot. This flying vlog is a look into the pilot life and airplanes, specifically the Cessna 172 Skyhawk and Cessna 180, which we'll be flying in this adventure.
    We can't wait to share this incredible adventure with you and hope you'll join us on this once in a lifetime experience. So sit back, relax and enjoy the ride as we take you on a journey through the skies of Alaska. If you're a fan of Alaska aviation, flying in Alaska by private plane, or flying in Alaska tv show, this is the perfect vlog for you! Join us as we experience the thrill of bush flying in Alaska and explore the backcountry from the air.

    Just found this! I used to listen to you years ago on a very old podcast that you did with the 100 dollar burgers (2008?!), used to listen to that every week when I lived abroad.. so good to see you so happy and well and enjoying flying in such a beautiful place! Man, how I would love to experience that once in this lifetime!

    Well, that was different I have to say, is refreshing and cool too. I couldn't help to keep looking at the tires of the other airplane, they look so cool with the white lettering.

    Thanks Chris for telling this story... there are so many things going on behind the scenes, which I think not many people are aware of. Your bts footage does a great job, of putting it all together. The late summers in Alaska is simply awesome, and I don't think many pilots can imagine how epic it really is ... can't wait for the next time !

    I started my flight training in Washington and finished in Alaska. My long solo cross country was from Anchorage to Homer. The DPE asked why I chose that route since it was so much further than required. I was leaving in less than 30 days and didn’t know when I would return. I miss Alaska so much and 11 years later, I’m thinking about looking for a flying job up there. My wife is supportive so now is the time!

    Aren't you a cfi. You should be using 122.75 for air-to-air. 123.45 is not an authorized freq for that. I get you're in Alaska and it's the wild wild west but you should be portraying proper airmanship as you are selling flight instruction as a side biz.

    Very nice, except I would have left the woman out of it. Not nice to look back on after she takes your kids and half your stuff. At least you would have had your own memory. Now she was there to ruin it.
