Same area but to the right with ANC visible.

Ok, one more... Here is the Turnagain Arm just south of Anchorage during the winter. Normally this is open for boating and I kayaked through this area in July of the same year. By November, it looks like this and should be treated as lava when flying over.. Anchorage International is just off...

I get it but here is my theory. When the rules are written in black and white, I follow them. As an electrical engineering student there were times I was expected to understand the rules and make things happen withing the rules set forth by physics, electrical theory or policy. In the Army I...

I would assume a good amount since he would be expected to react to failures and produce viable alternate methods that could only happen because of a deep understanding of the systems. or maybe he was expected to be spam in a can..

Thanks, I love yours as well. Mine were taken from a cell phone as I was flying and it shows. Every time I've had a real camera on a flight, I forget about it or get too busy. You encouraged me so here is another of Alaska. This is the Harding ice-field from about 12,000 feet.

Many years ago I worked as a tech at a place that made products that we occasionally installed on submersibles and sometimes on Navy submarines. Everything had to be certified as being "sub safe" and we still didn't have the kind of discussion about foot vs inch pounds or calibration timelines...

The OP's example seems like a daily occurrence. If you weren't acting like this guy, I bet nobody cares...

Can't.... stop....sharing....... Homer AK in 2011.

Astoria Bridge between Oregon and Washington. OR in the photo and WA to the right and out of frame.

Mt. Saint Helens in 2015.

Being in Western WA myself I would suggest talking to the locals on your field. I've seen planes with heaters that only turn on with an app when the owner commands it before a winter flight. I haven't seen dehumidifiers on planes at all but we did have them on our Abrams tanks in Yakima (eastern...

Do you laugh or cry at the lack of historical knowledge.... If it was only aviation related, I would shrug it off but I had to show someone a photo of the Berlin wall because they'd never heard of it. *SMH*

That sounds like a reasonable assumption. I have 14 people spread out over 13 states and many haven't been able to get a car to complete their travel requirements. In Sacramento, they had run out of economy cars and had to give me what they had left, a Dodge Charger....

When I was a student at UAA on Merrill Field I would often be told to request "the works", especially when solo. Tower would call a random go around, switch runways after a T&G (2 runways roughly 90 degrees off), reverse landing direction, change pattern direction, call your turns, give you a...

You ever asked the tower for "the works" up there at Merrill?

Last week I paid $53 a day for an economy car in Sacramento but the cost estimate I submitted with my travel request showed $44 a day less than 2 weeks earlier.

I remember that day well. I was a kid up in Kent and we were walking out to the car when it went. Later that day we were out having a BBQ in the back yard when my Uncle in Columbia Falls MT called us in a panic. He had been trying all day but the circuits were busy and he thought we were all...

Mt. St Helens is about 1300 ft shorter than on that chart.

I learned on a '73 Honda 70 and rode with my dad on his 74ish Honda 90. I still have both bikes but they need new motors.
