Alaskan Bear Watching & Flightseeing Adventure
This video montage was compiled by Google Photos from videos we took in and around Ketchikan Alaska. We went on two separate excursions. The first two flights took us to and from a bear watching platform near a waterfall on Margaret Creek. The second excursion took us on a flightseeing trip over the magnificent Misty Fiords National Monument, an area of over 2 million acres in the Tongass National Forest. Our pilots were Randy (of Mountain Air) and Michelle (of Island Wings Air). To get to Ketchikan, we cruised the Inside Passage on Holland America's MS Volendam cruise ship. The flights were the highlight of our trip to Alaska.

Black Bear swimming Across Naha Bay, Ketchikan, Alaska
We took this video earlier this summer. We were sitting at the dining table with Gary Lewis and his family and camera man (Gary Lewis Outdoor Adventures) when Jack spotted a dark shape out in the bay. He had just saying it would be neat if he got to see a bear swimming in the bay. We then realized that the dark shape he saw was in fact a bear swimming across the bay in front of our home and lodge. Jack grabbed his camera and positioned himself at our guest accommodation to film the bear. I also grabbed my camera and this is the video I took. Jack's footage will be part of one of the two shows that they will air in the spring of 2012.

Alaska Plane Crash Survivors Rescued From Island
(12 Jul 2018) The US Coast Guard rescued a pilot and 10 passengers on Tuesday, hours after their plane crashed on Alaska's Prince of Wales Island. The chartered Taquan Air flight crashed on a rocky mountainside near Ketchikan on Tuesday. Everyone survived and was rescued hours later by the U.S. Coast Guard.
The pilot told an investigator that he had left a lodge on Noyes Island just before 7:50 a.m., with the passengers and light cargo bound for Ketchikan, said Clint Johnson of the National Transportation Safety Board in Alaska.
During the flight, the pilot said, he noticed rising terrain ahead and tried to gain altitude to avoid it. But the float-equipped de Havilland Otter aircraft collided with it instead. The crash occurred around 8:35 a.m., Johnson said. The U.S. Coast Guard says the plane crashed on Mount Jumbo, 39 miles (62 km) south southwest of Ketchikan, Alaska, at an elevation of 2000 feet (609 meters).
Johnson said it's too early to draw any conclusions about the crash. A preliminary report was expected in the coming days.
Alaska State Troopers identified the pilot as Mike Hudgins of Ketchikan. Hudgins made the news in 2016 for rescuing a dog swimming in a busy channel. Efforts by The Associated Press to contact Hudgins weren't successful.
Taquan Air, in a statement, called Hudgins a skilled professional with thousands of hours of flying experience in Alaska, and hundreds of hours flying this particular aircraft. We are fortunate to have him as an employee.
The downed aircraft had an emergency locator that aided a search complicated by limited visibility of roughly one-quarter mile, Coast Guard Petty Officer Charly Hengen said.
The crash occurred on Prince of Wales Island, according to the Coast Guard. The heavily forested island near the southern tip of the Alaska Panhandle is the fourth-largest island in the U.S. At 2,577 square miles (6,675 square kilometers), it's larger than Delaware.
