Homeward Bound
As I write this it is 1:00 AM and I am sitting in Fairbanks International Airport waiting for my (delayed) flight home. It's been a very busy 10 days and we've covered a lot of ground. I look forward to going through the 15+ gigabytes of photos on my MacBook's hard drive when I get home.
Today's featured image is a Piper PA-18 "Super Cub" floatplane taking off on Fairbanks' Chena River. I grew up flying around Alaska with my father in his floatplane and it was really nice to re-live those memories.

This is my father's favorite plane, although the places we go aren't friendly to float planes.
I'm headed on another one of these Frank Church Wilderness Area fly-in hike and fishing trip in a few days. (This is not my plane and I'm not the pilot.) See photo at BryanCatherman.com
(Not a Rich Legg quality photo, sorry.)
It seems that link above doesn't work. Here's the address:

Ok, I'm Jealous...one of the dreams I've not quite caught yet is getting my pilots license...I look forward to pics from Alaska...Even growing up in Seattle, I've yet to make it to Alaska...A photo cruise and tour is definitely in the plans soon...
