Okay so several weeks ago our bosses came in for a bbq that the old owners threw to welcome them and invited the town to come out to camp and meet them. Love being in a small town. There was even a radio ad on to tell people all about it!
So the really excited part is that they flew down on one of the 6 seat planes with one of our bush pilots. We all had the opportunity to go up with him for a bit and he flew us over all of our glacier and rivers and the area. Amazing. i will tell you what seeing a glacier from above is a whole new experience. especially when it is the one you hike and climb all over and know it from a completely different perspective.
The best part of the story is that i go to fly co-pilot seat and as we turn around to head home the pilot let me fly us back. no it isnt that hard but i had to definately move the plane and adjust to winds etc... and then he of course took over to land. But i was geeking out!!! and now i think i have a new goal.. pilot license some day! yahoo.
