Mount McKinley is the tallest mountain in North America and a highly coveted summit by climbers. In order to get there, however, they need help from an elite group of pilots. In The Bush Pilots: Denali Flyers, see two films that previously aired on public television and meet these pilots whose day-to-day jobs are filled with more adventure than most people experience in a lifetime.
The Denali flyers are the only air taxis in the world that land on glaciers as part of their daily routine delivering people and cargo to base camp on Mount McKinley. Fly with these skilled bush pilots and see the glorious mountain from all angles. Then meet Don Sheldon, who is considered a pioneer of glacier landings, and find out how he took on weather, terrain and circumstance to perform feats of airmanship that, to this day, remain unrivaled and have become the stuff of legend.
