AOTD for 11/7 Fire Island

Featured Replies

Another new Alaska cache. Fire Island. Don't know that I've been there.

 

Enjoy.

Thank you.

Easy to find without the aerocache tracker. The island isn't that big. If you've flown into Anchorage, you already know where the island is. It has the VOR on it.

 

Nice short hop in the Icon. Low and Threatening weather give you opportunities to practice crosswind operations, as the closest runway is 36 (360 degrees) to the 14 knot wind from the northeast.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Funny thing. I was already sitting on the runway at fire island with a C-46 overnight waiting for a boat load of fuel to arrive from Anchorage. Ist time I had been there.

Here are some shots I took on Fire Island. With all the red foliage, no wonder the name.
