December 3, 201213 yr Shalom and greetings all my pals, Here is ultra gorgeous Alaskan milk run cargo hauling flight from CYXY Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport located in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada to PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport 4 nautical miles southwest of downtown Anchorage, Alaska that resulted into bird strike during runway approach for landing Full loaded and ready for pushback in middle of snowstorm at -20 degree temperature Nice sunset glow on the plane Nasty weather!!! Being pushed back by airport tug Starting engines Taxiing to short of runway 13R amidst powerful snowstorm Entering into runway 13R for take off via JAGIT departure Airborne on climb to FL360 but speedometer and all gauges failed except GPS which is why you see weak climb rate while I was too busy trying to revive the failed gauges Still doing weak climb finished passing through clouds while I was trying to revive gauges Because of regulations of the forums not allowing more than 10 screenshots per post, please go to this hyperlink to view rest of gorgeous flight and hair-raising runway approach!!! Here is link: http://vatil.org.il/forum/index.php/topic/39215-bird-strike-during-runway-approach/ Thank you for viewing!!! Stay tuned for next exciting flight!! Regards, Aharon

December 5, 201213 yr Looked through the whole lot, superb, I thought the airport fire service were conspicuous by their absence in the last shot though! All the best, Gemma PS the weather at your destination looks identical to what is outside my window here in the UK today.
