Whether flying for backcountry adventures, hunting trips, or simply exploring the vast Alaskan wilderness, his passion for aviation has shaped his life. ✈️ Alaska From Above For Steffin and his family, flying isn’t just about convenience—it’s about freedom. A 7-hour drive turns into a 1 hour & 40-minute flight, opening up endless possibilities for adventure. From Denali to Talkeetna, the breathtaking Alaskan landscape is best experienced from the sky. #Flying #Cessna #Alaska
