The HD version is up now.

The drone footage was using a DJI Phantom 2 with GoPro 3+ Black and servo gimbal mount.  I can't wait to find some whales to fly over!!

Beautiful trip.  I flew the B-24 from Anacortes to Wrangell - Sitka - Anchorage…never much higher than 1500' or so.  Awesome.

Very lovely.  We stayed in Seward a couple of nights, a couple of years ago.  You live in a beautiful place.
