America by Air: Coming in for a Water Landing
Editor’s Note: This article previously appeared in a different format as part of The Atlantic’s Notes section, retired in 2021.
The reader who sent that incredible shot over Playa Flamenco has another great one from the Pacific Northwest:
I saw you got a blimp, but do you have one from a seaplane? [CB note: Yep—we’ve posted two photos from seaplanes but we posted them after this email came in, so our reader couldn’t have seen them.] This view is coming in to “land” on Lake Chelan, Washington [the largest lake in the state], from the cockpit of a Dehavilland Beaver. We did an air tour of the Glaciers of the North Cascades two years ago.
Love this series.
