Matt's Bucket List Trip to Alaska

Post by 1567 »

Link to short video of some of the pictures taken on flight to and in Alaska during June by Matt. He flew alone, with a line drawn on 13 charts. Put 70.1 hours on the plane.

Yes Victor a trip of a lifetime. Would do it again if the opportunity arose, but not alone.

Congratulations Matt. Did you break down and take a GPS? (maybe as a backup to your finger on the chart?) Can you bring your pictures to the Convention and give a talk.
