Yesterday I flew from Anchorage to Barrow and, for the first time in forever, the weather around Mt. McKinley was BEAUTIFUL and allowed me to take some share-worthy pictures of NorthAm's tallest rock. Fresh from the flight deck! Enjoy!

edit: Mountain is 20,320 feet tall; we were at 32,000 feet cruising altitude. In other words, this mountain reaches 2/3 of the way to the altitude many jets fly at...

WTF? They let you take pics from the flight deck in a post 9/11 world?

Wait...were you actually flying the plane?

hmm, i would like that answered as well.

I am a pilot and dispatcher for my airline, so... yes, there is no rule whatsoever prohibiting me from taking pictures. Also, in accordance with my position, I obviously have access to the flight deck :)

Man those pics are awesome. Makes it seem ridiculous to think about people climbing not only that but also Everest.
