Just mentioned because FT has a good share of aviation buffs ....

ANC has to be the best remaining place in the world to see the big old piston-engined airliners from the 1950s still in action, hauling freight to and from the remote settlements. There are aviation enthusiast tours from Europe and Asia that go to ANC for this specific reason.

Maybe you don't want to be that extreme, but an hour spent round the perimeter of ANC photographing the old DC-6s of Northern Air Cargo (they still have 12 in their fleet) and many others rumble off over the mountains is a real step back in time.
