Photos of the Day — Blue Ice Aviation Location

I thought this might be interesting to those of you not familiar with Alaska.  The first image is our front yard, our house sits on the far right side in the timber.  You can see the Glenn hwy. running along the bottom of Sheep Mt.  The monolith in the front and center is called the Lions Head which sits at the toe of the Matanuska Glacier.  You can see that I am not exaggerating when I claim a breath-taking 2 hour drive from Anchorage.  The Chugach Mts. are on the left and the Talkeetna mountain range is on the right, with the Glenn hwy running in the valley separating the two.  

The next pictures show the Meekin homestead and landing strip with crosswind runway.  My cabin is on the shorter airstrip on the far right, and Mike’s cabin has the nice green lawn.  The wing of my plane passes 20 feet in-front of my house when I land.  The big building next to the planes is the hangar and office.  There are killer views of mountains in every direction from our house and hangar.  People love to sit on our runway and count sheep on the mountain behind the hangar.  If you are in Alaska during the summer stop by, even if you don’t want a flight, just to enjoy the view.  It is one of the finest views in the world.  The last image shows my wife motoring down the runway on our scooter headed for the cabin.  On the map Blue Ice Aviation is located at the red “A”.
