Re: [Geology2] Spectacular- Maths teacher Kent Mearig took these impressive pictures from the inside of Mendenhall Glacier in the remote.markdown

No copters for me.  If the fan quits, the glide angle is the same as a rock.  Autorotation is a barely controlled crash.  Nope!

I'll fly fixed wing any day and am licensed to do that. 

Copters are amazing things that do critical work.  But even during rescue ops, I was only "the dope on a rope" once because the hill was too bloody steep to climb and I was tired.

Tourons??? Very ..evocative. lol..gotta say though, that if I did have an opportunity to view a glacier or volocano  from a helicopter I would take it. Never been in a helicopter and I love flying. Allison
