It was a windy day and we were starting to get cold feet. There was no need for our apprehension. Drake is a pro. He radioed our location to the tower continuously. The flight was scenic and thrilling. Glaciers, mountains and lakes, we saw them all. The highlight of our Alaska experience. Tip for cruise passengers: Take the ferry from... More

2nd July 2012 Please excuse the title - this flight with Drake was the flight of a lifetime and an experience that my husband and I believe will be very hard to top anywhere in the world. On this flight we discovered an event of monumental proportions in the glacial area above Glacier Bay that caused all of us on... More

Our group of 4 had the opportunity to fly with Drake Olson on Fri. June 29th on a scenic route from Haines to Skagway. We had the fun of seeing him on an installment on TV of Alaska Wingmen this past winter and were quite intrigued by his down to earth, no bull personality! True to his word Drake was... More

Flew June 5 with Drake from Skagway. Great views--beautiful scenery. Felt real comfortable with Drake and I don't even like to fly!!!!

I flew with Drake last week from Skagway for a tour of Glacier Bay. Safety is his highest priority and he wants each guest to have a memorable experience. Drake delivered on all levels and this trip was phenomenal. Rather than flying a routine pre-set route, Drake gave us an individualized, unique flight trip. The man is a wealth of... More

My husband and I flew with Drake last week. We contacted him when our cruise ship arrived in Skagway. We were flexible and he was accommodating to our schedule. Our safety was his #1 priority. Drake's knowledge of the area and the wildlife made it a day to remember. We saw moose, bear, bald eagles, dall sheep, hundreds of seals... More

Our family flew with Drake out of Skagway on May 29, 2012 (two separate flights to accommodate all of us) over the east arm of Glacier Bay. The views were phenomenal - glaciers, fiords, mountains - everywhere you looked, plus we were very lucky and saw bald eagles, bears, moose and mountain goats (mostly due to Drake's knowledge of the...
