16 years ago, I made up this little video showing what it was like to be a Twin Otter co-pilot in Alaska. I dusted it off and put it up here. From the 1300 foot strip in Eek to the frozen ice flows 200 miles north of Alaska, you'll see why we were having so much fun.

Hippily Bunny (Kids Story) Hippily Bunny (Kids Story)
Posted by: fly4fun

Video duration: 237 seconds

My 4 year old daughter began drawing a bunny she called "Hippily" on 3 X 5 cards over the past two weeks. She told me that she's doing it to make a 'movie.' Who am I to deny her that? So I added some copyright safe music (I learned my lesson from the Vertigo movie) and had her narrate it. Be sure to watch to the end to see the 'outtake.'

One of the highlights of the DC-3 transcon flight was the opportunity to fly directly over the Niagara Falls. We made good use of the short time circling to get some great pictures. Here's how we did it.
