Flying Quest Kodiak- Anchorage, Kodiak, Valdez, Sitka, Seattle, 2012

Take a scenic tour flying from Anchorage over the Kenai Peninsula to Kodiak Island and the city of Kodiak. After Kodiak we are flew over Homer to Valdez and the Valdez Fly-In 2012 for display and short field takeoff and landing competition. However due to bad weather there were only 15 airplane on Saturday for the competition. I had fun and came in third in the heavy class. Again flying from Valdez along the coast overflying Yakatak and into Sitka airport. I had time to tour around the city of Sitka and little demonstration flight around the area. The flight home from Sitka to Seattle took 4.5 hours over Annette Island, Prince Rupert, Bella Bella Canada, over to Vancouver Island and straight into Seattle.

I hope you enjoyed these images of these various cities and along the route of flight.

Fascinating shots. I lived in Kodiak when I was a little kid; my dad was in the Navy and stationed there. This was in the early fifties, so the only photos I have are of a very dreary, grey, ramshackle place. There were still AAA guns and other fun things for a kid to discover, explore, and play on. Thanks for sharing the photos.
