Let's Go Flying! Lone Pine via Olancha Peak and Whitney Portal

Dan flies his Cessna Cardinal 177RG from Kern Valley Airport northeast to cross the Sierra Crest and then descend into the Owens Valley and land at Lone Pine Airport.
Shot on a spectacular flight within the High Sierra, this film thoroughly captures the experience of exploring some of California’s most amazing country with a small plane. Includes overflights of Domeland Wilderness in the Kern Plateau, the Sierra Nevada Crest and Whitney Portal. Close approaches to land features are enhanced with glorious QHD video. Major land features are labeled for the pleasure of learning about the region.
Starting from Kern Valley Airport, this flight climbs up into the Domeland Wilderness of the Kern Plateau, then on to Olancha Pass, Cartego Canyon, Whitney Portal, and the Alabama Hills before landing in Lone Pine. This film is the first segment of a two-part flight. The second film (to be released later) covers the flight from Lone Pine, to Cerro Gordo Mine, Panamint Valley and then Saline Valley.
This is shot in glorious, multi-camera 2.7K HD, so be sure to use the highest resolution setting you can for your maximum enjoyment.
