Bush Flying in Alaska

When you lift off and cruise through the air in remote Alaska, only a few words can capture the experience. The roar of the engine on takeoff is exhilarating, and as you lift up and cruise, a quick scan of the endless landscape fills you with awe. It’s exciting and overwhelming.

In a Beaver, you feel the peaceful, deep hum of the nine-cylinder radial engine as you glide and glance around. Spruce forests intertwined with blue lakes, snake-like streams and rivers, and randomly shaped bogs and ponds pass below. The Alaska landscape holds back nothing, bearing it all.

Passing over all this grandeur and untouched vastness, you feel curiously small, yet your longing to be a part of it all is large. It’s a truly unique and intimate adventure experience.

When you drop down from above and the engine slows, landing brings a strange reconnection to the earth. It’s a grounding peacefulness, quickly replaced by excitement for your fishing or adventure excursion ahead.
