Since it’s a holiday here in the U.S., here’s a video with no news in it at all, but just some beauty shots of flying above the mountains of Alaska, mostly above Denali National Park and the Yukon, in a Sonex. Pilot Aaron Knight posted this online a few days ago, and says it came from “14.5 hours of HD handheld and wingcam video condensed down to 5.5 minutes of Epic Insanity and a perfect film score.” Knight says the trip was flown over eight days in July, covering more than 7,000 miles and more than 80 hours of flying.
