of the maze of inlets , bays and islands passing below them did not go unnoticed by Kenmore ’ s pilots . Remembering his grandfather ’ s fascination for the country he ’ d flown through for so many years , Banks wondered if people would be willing to pay for the experience of simply going for a ride in a floatplane . The only way to find out was to try it , so the company initiated a sightseeing flight over Seattle . It proved so popular that Kenmore added a volcano flight that gets passengers up close and personal with Mt . Rainier and Mt . Saint Helens , and an Olympic Peninsula flight that includes a pass over Mt . Olympus and the Blue Glacier . Depending on the day ’ s fleet assignments , passengers may find themselves gazing down on the Snow Dome from Beaver Six-Six-Zulu , the exact same plane Munro flew on his South Cascade and Blue Glacier flights .
The magic of flying in a floatplane is you go low and slow . With big windows and a high wing , every seat offers a panoramic view . Which is exactly what you want as you look down into the steaming crater of Saint Helens or watch a pod of whales from the altitude of a soaring eagle .
Whether the objective is to experience a unique perspective above an amazing corner of the planet , add to a collection of dramatic photos and videos , or fly to a destination with its own promise of adventure , Kenmore Air has spent the last seventy-five years perfecting its ability to deliver . It ’ s a history every passenger lives in person from the moment their plane begins to accelerate across the water .
