In the midst of my visit, I scheduled a day in Fairbanks, Alaska. The two shots above are shortly after takeoff in the morning on an Alaska Airlines Convair 240 prop plane, the first time I ever actually flew on a piston engine aircraft. In fact, I cannot recall any other time that I have flown on a piston engine aircraft--all of the Electras or YS-11s or Convair 580s were turboprops. We did fly near Mt. McKinley en route but I don't appear to have taken any pictures going. I would on the return trip on a more modern aircraft.
