The view: Mt. Rainier from 10,000 feet, on Victor 4 between YKM and BFI
The pilot: Duncan Witte
The airplane: Piper Arrow PA28R-201
The mission: The final leg of a trip from my home field at Monroe, NC (EQY), to Boeing Field in Seattle, WA (BFI).
The memory: I’ve always thought Mt. Rainier to be the most beautiful of the major Cascade peaks. I climbed the mountain in 1972 (I was younger then!), and have wanted to do a fly-by ever since I learned to fly many years later. The weather and ATC cooperated for this view of the north side of the mountain.

Duncan Witte is a commercial/instrument-rated pilot, who first learned to fly in Alaska in the 1970s. Then, with fewer than 100 hours, life intervened and he took a 30+ year hiatus, before starting to fly again in 2011. He now has logged over 1900 hours. Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, he was very active in Angel Flight, and looks forward to being able to fly missions again soon. Now based in Charlotte, NC, Duncan is particularly interested in exploring new places by air, and has visited over 350 airports, in 44 states, provinces, and territories in the U.S. and Canada.
