AOTD for 6/20/13 - Iditarod 13 N. - Ruby

[188AHC 2,138]

I've been to Ruby several times in my travels so I'm hoping finding this one won't be too much of a problem. 

 

It also looks like we will have these Iditarod caches for a while longer too.

 

Thanks to whoever decided to do this.

 

Enjoy.

Did anyone else notice about 15 miles west of Ruby there is a 5 mile long section of the river that is all trees between the shorelines?

Cool, I was able to pick up both Cripple and Ruby in one trip.

"Be gentle," the man said.

 

The Mustang gear up at Ruby runway.

 

 

 

 

Crash! :lol:

 

The Mustang gear up on Ruby grass.

 

 

 

 

Crash! :lol:

 

The only other retractable gear airplane I've got, the Icon gear up at Ruby runway.

 

 

 

 

Finally. Nice and gentle, just like the man said. B)

 

 

I like this place, peaceful sylvan airport.

 

 

 

 

I also like the Cub, hard to crash on gear up landings. :lol:

 

 

 

 

Best regards.

I flew direct in the cc, so I did not come up the Yukon River. After I collected the AOTD, I took off and flew over to the river and this is what I saw.

That's the infamous "Yukon Waterfall".  You should submit it as an AOTD. :lol:

I have gone over it before in the Icon. I wild trip to say the least. Just you wait for one I have coming up for a really wild river ride.

Here we go...

 

(On the subject of mismatched terrain, not the AOTD.)

[LuisFelizTirado 33]

Ooh! I like that one. Roller coaster ride. Where is it, please? :lol: Not off the Map, by any chance?

 

Over the falls in an Icon.

 

Best regards.

Somewhere toward the SE edge of the Alaska map.  I don't think I saved a flight -- think I just found it by trial and error when looking for the edge of the scenery.

[jpc55 185]

I would guess that it is one of these. :lol:

 

 

[Orion 2]

Yep, somewhere like that.
