Famous lines in alaska.

Playing around on MSFS 2024 learning how to pilot Helicopters. I think itd be good nerdy fun to cosplay a heli pilot flying a crew to all the iconic zones/lines. While I'm gonna do my own searching, I figure you guys might know some already and help me out. Just starting I have pontoon peak already and have a few more that I'm gonna find, but what you guys got? Nicknames given to lines could work, but the actual names of the peaks (or massif) would be best. I guess lets/longs would be best best.

The Big 5 in the Chugach are:

Pontoon
Meteorite
Tusk
Diamond
Sphinx

Nice. That's a start for sure. I need more hours with the heli. Crashed 2/3rds of the way to pontoon from Cordova.

Pretty sure it's named after the mall.

Meteorite 1983... Well actually in this picture to the left is Pat Levy the first to solo Meteorite and Chris Larson, the first to summit Meteorite with Bob Shelton. Telehead at far right. They skied from 10 Mile via the Ethrington Glacier (see pic) to the base of the Ramp and booted it. Attachment 508882Attachment 508883

Who is Dimond High named after in Anchorage Alaska? (Class of 1998 represent!)

Dimond High School in Anchorage, Alaska, is named after Anthony Joseph Dimond (1881–1953). He was a prominent figure in Alaska's history, serving as the territory's delegate to the U.S. Congress from 1933 to 1945. Dimond was also a strong advocate for Alaska's statehood and played a key role in promoting the development and interests of the territory. His legacy is honored through the naming of the high school, as well as other landmarks in Alaska.

Who is Dimond peak named after outside of Valdez Alaska?

Dimond Peak, located near Valdez, Alaska, is named after Anthony Joseph Dimond as well. Like the high school in Anchorage, the peak honors his contributions to Alaska as a territorial delegate to the U.S. Congress and his efforts in advocating for Alaska's statehood and development. His legacy is remembered in various landmarks across the state, recognizing his dedication to the region's progress.

What about the Dimond Center and Dimond Blvd ?

The Dimond Center and Dimond Boulevard in Anchorage, Alaska, are not directly named after Anthony Joseph Dimond, though they share the same name. Instead, these locations are named after the Dimond family, specifically Albert and Evelyn Dimond, who were prominent local landowners and developers in the area.

The Dimond family played a significant role in Anchorage's development, particularly in the area surrounding the Dimond Center, which they developed into one of Alaska's largest shopping malls. Their contributions to the community are commemorated through the naming of these landmarks.
