Alaska to Connecticut in 4 days
I just got back from an amazing first trip in my new to me Maule M5-235. I bought it in Anchorage and needed to get it home to CT. So I loaded up a bunch of gear and my budding professional photographer daughter and jumped on a jet to go get the new ride. We were limited on time so didn't get to explore nearly enough but we had weather to beat if I was to get the plane back before the snow flew. We did manage to see amazing views that many of you get to see all the time. Color us jealous. Here are a few of the better pictures from the trip. You can see more of them at

Thank you. Yes she took a few thousand pictures of digital and 4 rolls of black and white film to use for a college photography project she is calling Wings and Wilderness. It was really hard to keep heading southeast with so many beautiful areas begging to be explored. She loved Alaska and the Rockies from the air. The Great Plains not so much where the photo rates dropped dramatically.

Yes it used to be at Birchwood as I tracked it down via Google Maps of all things trying to find the owner. I almost missed it because it had wing covers on in the picture.
I got half of the the fuselage polished today. It's cleaning up better than I hoped. At least the paint that's still there anyway.

Great pics, thanks for taking the time to share them.
I'd love to see some pics from CT and New England if you have any, I lieved there for a few years when I was at Yale.
Have not been back since. I get hives if I travel east of the Continental Divide.

alaska to connecticut in 4 days
Man what a nice trip, even though you had to squeeze it into 4 days. Any father who has a daughter dreams of taking a trip like that........You two will remember that vividly for your whole life, and you have the GREAT photographic images to enjoy over and over. Sounds like the Maule lived up to its expectation.

As I hurtled through space, one thought kept crossing my mind - every part of this rocket was supplied by the lowest bidder .
