Talkeetna Air Taxi - Denali Flight and Glacier Landing The plane is a De Havilland Beaver which has been modified to have skis that come down for glacier landings.

I wanted to go on a flightseeing trip of Denali when I was in Alaska. I figured that it would be very unlikely since I was booking it months in advance and Denali was covered in clouds about 70 percent of the time. I got lucky and the day that I had to visit was beautiful. We used Talkeetna Air Taxi for the trip. This is one of their planes. The skis are lowered when it is in the air so that it can land on the glacier. AIMG 5518

The 17th century travertine façade of Santa Francesca Romana in Rome, Italy gets a visit from a 21st century jet. Santa Francesca Romana "was built in the second half of the 10th century, incorporating an eighth-century oratory that Pope Paul I excavated in the wing of the portico of the Temple of Venus and Roma; it was named Santa Maria Nova ("new St. Mary"), to distinguish it from the other Roman Forum church devoted to St. Mary, Santa Maria Antiqua ("ancient St. Mary"), which had become dilapidated in the 10th century; it was rebuilt by Pope Honorius II in the 13th century, when the campanile was built and the apse was decorated with mosaics of a Maestà, the Madonna enthroned accompanied by saints. The interior has been altered since. Since 1352 the church has been in the care of the Olivetans. In the 16th century the church was rededicated to Frances of Rome (canonized in 1608), whose relics are in the crypt. Its travertine porch and façade is by Carlo Lambardi, and was completed in 1615." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Francesca_Romana,_Rome AIMG_2307
