MP Leg 045 PABA-PABT

[RedBaron]

Hi guys,

Again it was a nice flight yesterday, although only Vic and I were joining.

Nevertheless this seems to be a very good flight once more, with only 4 touch and goes, but with some good distances to fly between each touch and go. I created my own route according to the briefing that Pär provided following the Yukon from Fort Yukon to Eagle. This required some zig zag flying. Here is a map of the route as I did it.
   

Vic and I waited for some time to see whether there will show up some more pilots, but this didn't happen.
So at 18:15Z we taxied out to the active runway and departed. I had already climbed out a bit and Vic is starting his takeoff roll.
   

Nice en-route picture of us flying over the mountains heading for Arctic Valley (PARC).
   

I am on short final to Arctic Valley.
   

I am now passing Vic at a high rate of speed.
   

Next was fort Yukon (PFYU) and i am now turning to final.
   

Touch and go complete and now flying a little bit around.
   
   

Then we followed the Yukon River to Eagle (PAEA). I followed it at very low altitude - my kind of flying.
   

Next Eagle showed up and I performed an approach from the easier side, whilst Vic selected the opposite direction having trees placed just before the runway.
   
   

Vic is performing his touch and go now.
   
   
   

Bye, bye, Eagle.
   

Then I approached Beaver (WBQ) already flying alone, as Vic had another appointment.
   
   

Being able to use a faster cruise speed now I reached Bettles at around 21:25Z.
   
   

OK, another MP Session has come to an end and i am really hoping that next week there will be some more pilots joining.
   

Have a great week.

Nice shots CB. You better be very careful flying low over the Yukon River as you might get your butt shot out of the sky by a Navy sub.
