Porter over Alaska : nothing beats STOL

Featured Replies

Good morning everybody

I just finished my flight #5 from Juneau to Anchorage.

 

Previous Flights, for Bush lovers #1 - #2 - #3 - #4

This leg was between Young Creek and Chitina.

As I wanted to fly over Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, I diverted to Glacier Creek for a quick Touch&Go before heading West.

Reached Chitina about 1 hour later. A steady 20kts+ front wind allowed for a very short landing at CXC, reverse thrust a few feets above the ground, stall horn triggering. So short I could exit the runway to the parking without u-turning. That was a ~400 ft landing if you look at Maps.
