Flying to Anchorage

Even though I got a window seat, the old busted plane that Delta has in service on the Seattle-Anchorage route had some pretty scuffed up windows. At least you can get a sense for how huge the mountains are in British Columbia.

Parts of the Inland Passage are visible here. So very cool!

There’s the airport and next door the world’s largest seaplane base.

Coming around on final approach. The island just off Anchorage has a wind turbine farm.

A lineup of DC3s still in service on the ramp at Anchorage.

Flying Through New York

On my way to Quebec City for work, I flew through the Newark airport and had a great view of New York City.

The city in the distance.

Up up and away.

Big cranes.

Old abandoned ships near that island.

Flying from Vancouver to Paris

On my way to Paris for work, I hopped a ride on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner out of Vancouver, BC. This was the fourth time this year that I have been on a Dreamliner.

Last fall I rode along the road at the edge of the water on my way down to Vancouver from further north in BC on my Honda Pacific Coast motorcycle.

Looking back toward BC.

Beautiful valleys between the mountains in British Columbia.

This is the best view I’ve ever had out of an airplane bathroom.

British Columbia is gorgeous this time of year.
