Last week I worked some charters between Fairbanks and Dawson City flying Holland-America passengers. We had an interesting challenge trying to even out the weight and balance of the aircraft with all the passengers eager to be on the starboard side in order to get a view of Mount McKinley. I was lucky enough to get a photo myself during a ferry flight. Mount McKinley is the highest peak in North America at more than 20,000 feet above sea level.
