Wood-Tikchik Mountains
Distant but dramatic views of the rugged peaks within America's largest state park.
Nushagak River Meanders
Watch the incredible logic-defying loops and oxbow lakes created by the winding Nushagak River.
Glacial Kettle Lakes
The landscape is dotted with thousands of small, circular lakes formed by retreating glaciers.
Dillingham Skyline
A clear view of the town, the boat harbor, and the busy Peter Pan Cannery facilities on final approach.
Sit on the right for the best photographic lighting during morning flights. In late August and September, the tundra below transforms into brilliant shades of crimson and gold, making the river contrasts even more striking.

Observe the transition where the glacial river waters mix with the silty tides of the Bering Sea.
