It will be interesting to see if everyone can cope with a three-hour flight...(2 hours 53 minutes)... :o...!

Jimbo's Tours last on average between 1 1/2 and 2 hours max.
Even then, one or two of the little ones get bored after 5 minutes, and leave to watch the Tele, or whatever! ;)...!

I find that a 2 hour Maximum trip is plenty long enough to keep everyone interested... ::)...!

If too long, can stop at Honolulu, half way, plenty of grass skirts.

...steady-on, Luke... :o...!

That much excitement for us "Oldies" can result in heart palpitations, leading to a fantastic death, with a Honolulu Babe in one hand and a glass of Jamaica Rum in the other....
....Joy... ::)...!

I saw this route if you thing is good. Really toughy one, in Alaska, mountains & fiords, cruise 10,000' & land at sea level both, one at bottom of shear cliffs.

From Chenega Bay (C05), to Whitter (PAWR) one way in RWY length 1400' & to Anchorage (PANC), 90nm trip, but what a swet.

Here I finished up at Anchorage amongst the bigies.

Another one was from Valdez to the bottom of Yale Glacier (College Fjord)
