Which side of the plane to sit from Mountain Village Airport (Mountain Village) to St Mary's Airport (St Mary's)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a panoramic view of the Yukon River's massive main channel and the intricate, labyrinthine patterns of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta wetlands as you travel west.

Yukon River Main Stem
Witness the immense scale of the silt-heavy Yukon River, one of the most powerful waterways in North America.
Tundra Sloughs
Observe the complex, fractal-like patterns of winding water channels and oxbow lakes that define this subarctic landscape.
Pitkas Point Confluence
Identify the scenic junction where the clear waters of the Andreafsky River meet the murky, glacial silt of the Yukon.
Sit on the left for the most consistent water views. Because the flight is extremely short (under 20 miles), keep your camera ready from takeoff. In late August and September, the tundra turns vibrant shades of crimson and gold, which is best captured with the morning sun behind you.

Andreafsky Wilderness
View the rolling hills and rising terrain to the north, which provide a stark contrast to the flat delta to the south.
Andreafsky River Valley
Follow the course of this National Wild and Scenic River as it snakes down from the northern highlands.
St Mary's Village Approach
Get an aerial perspective of the regional hub of St Mary's as the plane aligns for the gravel runway.
The right side is ideal for spotting the transition from flat wetlands to the upland Andreafsky Hills. During the winter months, look for snowmobile trails (locally called 'highways') carving white lines across the frozen landscape. Watch for the distinct village layout of St Mary's during the final two minutes of flight.
