SmileyHey there.  I live in Ketchikan and get out to Misty Fjords often.  I used to go out there everyday last summer for people on cruise in-fly out sightseeing tours.  Unfortunately I was on the boat Angry and not flying one of the DH-Beavers or Otters (mostly turboprop although there is one twin(A Globe Twotter, right?) 
Your pictures are great and I only wish I could generate scenery of that quality.  Just need to make the investment, I guess.  Nice AK 737.  Northbound from RWY 29. 
Have you done the "Milkrun" yet.   Fun for sim, but in reality this run sucks to be a passenger on.  Takes almost five hours to get to Juneau sometimes.  Alaska Airlines likes to use the 700c for this route because of the cargo designation that converts half the fuselage into passenger space and reserves half for cargo.  Fly this route

Alaska Airlines Flight 65

KSEA Seattle--->PAKT Ketchikan  Departs 8 :00 a.m.
PAKT--->            PAWG Wrangell       "       9:46
PAWG-->            PAPG  Petersburg            11:03
PAPG--->            PJNU   Juneau                  12:07
PAJN--->             PANC  Anchorage             13:29

It's a pretty fun flightplan and has some funny approaches in Petersburg and Juneau.  Let me know if you think the ILS is messed up in Petersburg.
Take Care
Matt.
