ACTIVITIES: guide to flightseeing
TAKING FLIGHT
Come fly with me and see Alaska from a pilot's-eye view! One big reason to go flightseeing – and we do mean BIG –
is the sheer size of Alaska's landscapes. You'll really get a sense of scale when you see our mountains, glaciers and
ice fields from the air. Alaskans have been flying since 1913, when the first
biplane took off over Fairbanks. Aviation legends like Noel Wien, Ben Eielson and Joe Crosson were our first bush pilots, flying to and from rural communities to
deliver mail and cargo. Today, modern day bush pilots land helicopters and fix-winged planes on glaciers, beaches and waterways, providing some of the most
amazing flightseeing experiences imaginable.
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO
Anytime of year, flightseeing brings you
up close and personal to places that are
otherwise out of reach.
