Why fly with Mountain Flying Service?

I have been flying here for the better part of 20 years and almost 12,000 hours. I am the pioneering pilot and company to offer more in depth flights across Glacier Bay National Park and to incorporate a remote landing. I love it. We fly everyday and know where the weather is at it's best and where the wildlife might be hiding.

With us you will be flown by the highest time, local pilot with the nicest newest aircraft built in 2005. With the largest windows. No other pilot in Haines or Skagway can say that! On every flight I will go the extra mile to show you everything that is worth seeing that day. No corners cut. My service is about you, not where I've skied or what publication has printed my picture .

What type of airplane will I be flying in and how old is it?

We fly a Bush Hawk-XP. Our Bush Hawk-XP was built in the fall of 2005. Please see this link for additional information about our plane.

How many passengers can you take?

We take either 2, 3 or 4 passengers at a time. All passengers fly with the best stereo headsets.

What can I expect?

Sunglasses are a must even if it is cloudy. It will be warm enough in the plane, but it is always good to take another layer. We have plenty of room.

Do you fly out of Skagway?

We sure do. We offer flights out of Skagway, Haines, Juneau, Gustavus, Sitka, and more. Give a call to check if you don't find see the destination you're looking for.

Will I be able to take some pictures?

You can take all the pictures you want. The flat Digital point and shoot cameras are best. The S.L.R.'s with really big lenses can be a little cumbersome, but usually work out fine.

If you have special needs it is always good to bring it to our attention before the flight. We will do our best to accommodate you.

Contact:

We like to have contact with you before the flight so we can fine tune your departure time. Cell phones do work in Alaska, but only in the towns.
