Talk about a larger than life experience. Harris Aircraft Services sits adjacent to the Alaska Airlines hub. Both large and small planes use the same runway for flights in and out of Sitka. But, if you happen to board the Dehavilland Beaver like we did, although you take-off on land, with this particular flight plan you touch down in the bay.
In order to secure our "first in line" spot, Lloyd promised to pick up maple bacon bars (a donut like conduit for bacon and sugar) for the flight crew. We were first to board this six-seater plane and Harrison sat as co-pilot.
The flight was 30 minutes over glaciers and around mountain peaks that made the kids and adults alike gasp in awe. We landed in Warm Springs Bay and were greeted warmly at the dock by the staff and owners of the Baranof Wilderness Lodge.
