Flying for this company I get to go to some amazing airstrips, one in particular is Whitmore International Airport! It's more like a strip of asphalt at the bottom of a canyon, not the Grand Canyon, but pretty close to it. This airstrip supports river rafters making their way down Colorado River, some people put into the river here while others end their trip here. Well let's get down to what we all really want to see, the pictures! Note, not all these pictures were taken at Bar Ten.
