It was time to move on on our journey across Alaska. This time we would go from Entrance Island to Snettisham.
The weather could have been better, but it also could have been worse, so we don't complain. Maybe the birds had fun flying around...
Soon we (Pär, Stefaan and myself) were airborne and heading along our planned route. Here I am crossing Angoon.
Next was a small en-route part where we should only overhead Chatham, but we decided to make a touch and go on the water as well.
And a little playing around with Stefaan.
And again a very nice look at the scenery en-route this time to False Island.
And there is False Island:
Next was Pelican, where I made a quick stop for non-FS related reasons...
But soon I was airborne again passing by Stefaan, who also made a full stop at Pelican to wait for me
We are now heading for Hoonah, but the visibility decreased again and the clouds were sometimes down to sea level...
Taku Harbor ahead.
And a quick climb after the touch and go at Taku Harbor.
Some more formation flying with Stefaan.
Suddenly Snettisham appeared out of nothing in front of me and I was simply flying too fast for an approach and so I made a low level overhead and 'buzzed' Stefaan
Shortly thereafter I landed and taxied closed to Stefaan to join him. Pär arrived as No. 3 and earned the red lantern award.
There are cars for us to maybe get into some civilization
Pär's car is parked a little further away, but I think he likes to have a little hike after this nice flight.
Well, that was it for today and next week we will continue and see some more nice sceneries.
