AOTD for 4/18/13 - Iditarod 18 - Unalakleet

Featured Replies

We're getting closer to Nome all the time. Today we go to good ol' Unalakleet. This is the home of ERA airlines and the tv show "Flying Wild Alaska".

 

Hopefully we'll have better weather than some I've seen on that series.

 

Enjoy.

 

Thank you.

Rick

I was parked at Kaltag, and thought: Why not take a look at the Job Board?

 

What do you know? A Hamburger Run to Unalakleet, that sounds like fun! Wait, you'll see. B)

 

I chose the Mustang for this Job, and the first thing the passenger said when getting on was, "It's so cool that you just got your license!"

You think so now!

 

The trip was going to be short and quick in the Mustang, flying over the frozen Kaltag strip here.

But, it was not particularly interesting.

So, I made it more interesting! :lol:

Inverted! What did the passenger think about the trip now?

 

"Wow, upside down, this is so much fun!"

 

I like this guy! So, I flew inverted down low over the trees!

And my passenger liked that too! "This is so cool to fly low."

 

You will notice though that I got the red question mark in the passenger icon. This is not good.

 

So, after a while, I flew right-side up again and this is when everything got worse!

The caduceus! And my passenger cried, "I think I'm going to be sick!" Then, he made a mess in my Mustang. Don't you wish they had ejection seats?

 

Down low over the town getting the Aerocache.

End of the flight and I did not get the Happy Passenger Bonus. I'll enjoy my burger, but I'm not convinced that the passenger will eat anything. :P

Good one Luis. It took me about a 45 minutes with Goblin to get there. The -51 would have been a little faster to say the least. I did have to stop for some fuel after picking up the aerocache. I will check the job board after I get something to eat.

This happened to be another dawn flight for me in the ol' Miss Seattle: :Big Grin:
