Re: Day at the office

Reminds me of a time flying up the Koyukuk from Bettles 300 overcast and 2 miles vis met a Wien F-27 coming down the river trying to sneak into Bettles. Not sure that was a published approach #-o
Glad he had his landing lite on :roll:

Re: Day at the office

A friend and fellow pipeline pilot was occasionally willing to skip a portion of the line and do the over and under thing. I never did that. I just laid up and waited. From these videos, it seems Alaska might not be as friendly to my approach.

The only way that video could be sweeter is if it was a water landing on the lake. 8) Thanks DonC

That's one of those nifty RNP approaches in New Zealand. Very cool.
Must be hairy looking at a mountain and descending into a cloud layer!
