How to fly in a small plane by caffdolphgrl

"Breathtaking to see Alaska from up above"

How I did it: When I went to Alaska I booked the trip through Alaskatravel.com so I could customize a package for myself and travel companion.  I selected an option for a tour in a small plane in Talkeetna, Alaska.  It was breathtaking.  We got to see glaciers and the terrain from the helicopter.  It was well worth the money.  Because it was windy that day we did have to wait several hours before we were able to go.  Some of the people in the group ahead of us had gotten sick during their flight.  I had no problems but this probably wouldn't have been such a fun trip had I been prone to motion sickness.

Lessons & tips: You may want to reconsider (or take Dramamine) if you are prone to motion sickness.  Otherwise, just have fun and enjoy the scenery.

    birthday present 2 years ago

    a friend from the bar i work at is a pilot. he took me up flying for my birthday this year. i HATE flying in big planes and he knew that, but he insisted that it would be different in a small plane. he showed me all the pre-flight inspection and we flew up over my town and the lake i work on. it was breathtaking. by far the best birthday present anyone has ever given me.
