"Amidst God's Glory"
On an uninhabited mountain lake surrounded by His untouched natural wonders. Not a sound to be heard. In the vast untouchable paradise known as Misty Fjords National Monument. Ketchikan, Alaska.
As a pilot I am sensitive to smooth landings. This pilot was SO well experienced at water landings I didn't even realize he'd landed! Through Bose headsets came the words and melodies of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" as he sought a lake he'd not landed on in a while:
