There's planes in Alaska, too!

Alaska offers one of the largest variety of aircraf to be seen if you're into that kind of thing) than most anywhere else in the world. Today on a very short outing around the international airport of Anchorage and neighboring floatplane base Lake Hood I saw everything from Super Cubs on skis and floats to MD-11s and 747s dedicated to ferrying cargo around the world and nearly everything in between. The air is crisp and cold here, snow is just starting to cover the ground and I am in my element. Here's one small sample of what can be seen here, a FedEx MD-11 rotating and sowing off all kinds of heat artifacts and "ribbons" owing to the weather conditions. I expect more to come, stay tuned!
