Move your cursor right and left on the screen on this site, and you will have the impression you are flying over the Anarctic mountains in the winter — along with sound effects.

Bring your own
 "Just-in-Case paper bag" and bookmark for future flights. Very relaxing.

Enjoy your flight.

John, how fun. I have a terrible fear of heights but since I could take this journey from my desk chair I was ok. thanks, it was beautiful

That was awesome. Thanks John!
John Philipp Oct 4, 2008, 7:55am EDT
And the fun continues.

(Karen I used to have a fear of heights. Decided to work on it. Years later I flew my own plane from Boston to San Francisco.

Just so you know, you always have a choice.)

Now, Bert. What did you do to merit that?
LaRue B. Oct 4, 2008, 11:34am EDT
Thanks John! The kids loved it and so did I.
Karen E. Oct 4, 2008, 11:55am EDT
Well, thanks but no thanks on small planes John. With lots of grist for the mill, working on my fear of heights is "chump change"

That was fun. Thanks John.
John Philipp Oct 4, 2008, 1:35pm EDT
