Given it is about the only way to practically get to some areas of the state, it seemed that many were accepting of the risk. It always seemed so sad to me. I guess now that it is sightseeing, rather than something more pressing, some look at it differently.

I've flown in my share of small planes, but some areas--with their very strong crosswinds--just freak me out.

I do hope they find a way to make it safer.
