Ben Deptula, Ryan Anderson and D.B. Cooper expert and "Coast to Coast" radio regular
guest Galen Cook fly deep into the Alaska Range and explore its numerous valleys, glaciers
and jagged peaks. "Deptula took me to the edge and back . . . . this has to rank as one of my
all time epic adventures," Cook said. "It was a surreal and magical experience weaving in
and out of those tall mountains. At times it felt as though we we're flying in a dream land
where mythical characters like wizards and fire breathing dragons live. It was absolutely
amazing," Deptula added.
