Just took a trip from Seattle to Victoria on Kenmore Air.  Here are some pics.

Very cool. I've always wanted to go down there to the seaport in Seattle, but I've never got around to it. Maybe next time i'm in Seattle...

Terrific coverage man, coolest shots I've seen posted here in a while, but then again, I love bush flights!

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

That turboprop doesn't suit the Otter, just look at the nose on that thing in the 3rd picture. :-/

Awesome shots though, lucky you getting a ride in the right hand seat. 8-)

Nice pics!

Reminds me of when I flew on Kenmore to Victoria, Canada. Really enjoyed flying a bush plane, got to ride co-pilot

Great shots! I love Lake Union, I stayed in the Silver Cloud Inn (I think), which is right on the edge of the lake when I took a trip to Seattle last July. I had a lot of fun watching the beautiful water landings ;D.
