I am in the SeaTac airport right now. I’m sitting on the carpeted floor leaning up against one of those big pillars stealing power from the city of Seattle so my computer battery has enough juice to make it to Ketchikan and then Juneau. I am cruising through my photos as my butt goes numb but, when I saw this one I thought it was perfect. This photo was taken almost directly overtop of Blue Ice Aviation’s Summer home base. I’m South bound with the Lions Head (rock monolith), out in front. This is the heading that would take me directly to Homer if I climbed high enough to clear the mountains on the horizon. You can see the Glenn Hwy on the right hand side at the base of the hill and the Matanuska glacier is just out of view behind the Lions Head. It’s funny to think that It would take me nearly as long to reach Homer from this photos vantage point in my cub, as it will take me to fly from here to homer on Alaska Airlines. That is not a perfect example but it’s pretty doggone close. The Cub is embarrassingly slow.
Well, my plane is boarding …
