Coming into JNU is incredible, breaking down through the clouds and all of a sudden there is the channel that seems to be only inches below the plane as you glide along among the trees and the eagles into the runway.

The best views are taking off out of ANC going over the Chugach Range, you are still low enough, it is incredible.

Although, the very best view of all is when the Northern Lights are active. Totally magical.

Personally, I prefer no narrative from the cockpit, there are so many glaciers and mountains, I don't need to know their names, just let me stare at them in awe and wonderment.
