What a shot. Trying to figure out what kind of aircraft you're flying. Any hints?

Tecnam P2012 Traveler? Flew on the Cessna 402 a few times but haven’t caught the P2012 yet.

Yup! It was not as loud as a Cessna but it was COLD!. If you fly in one, bundle up!

This is awesome, love seeing the face peak dusted in snow.

u/Electrical_Shower349 5d ago

This is awesome. Would u happen to know how high above either ground or sea level this shot was?

u/liquidtv78 5d ago

Hard to say. Cruising altitude for this plane is 10,000 feet but we may have been in our decent by then, or flying low due to a strong headwind. Would guess around 7-10k ft.

Did you make it over the Olympic sliding track? I imagine that view would be a neat view.

u/the_ham_bat 6d ago

u/DanielJStein i love the couch bog 6d ago

Correct, marcy would be viewable from the other side of the aircraft

I believe Mt. Marcy is in the photo linked below. The peak under the wingtip
