Float Planes are Great

We got the chance to go in a Float Plane at our first port of call Ketchikan. This was the highlight for me. It was awesome. Our Pilot Andy took us up the Misty Fjords. Yes this is what they are called it was a clear day though. We flew around some very impressive mountains, saw some Mountain Goats on the high tops and we landed in a Fjord in the middle of nowhere. We got the chance to get out on the floats and take some shots before we flew back to the dock. Almost 2hours of flying.
The Group Shot. The Self Portrait.
Pilots point of view.Stunning views everywhere you looked.

In the middle of nowhere.

Heading back to what classes as civilisation in these parts.

Even in July the high lakes are frozen.
Another banking turn.
I want one. Do you think Float Plane Trips from Loch Tay would be a winner?
