Shalom and greetings all my pals!!

Here is darn nice scenic and extremely pure fun Alaskan commuter flight era 1960 style flown by Reeve Aleutian Airways from PANC Stevens Anchorage International Airport located 4 nautical miles southwest of downtown Anchorage to PAVD Valdez Airport located three nautical miles east of the central business district of Valdez, Alaska

Official PANC airport announcement bulletin at extremely early morning



Holding short of runway 15 awaiting clearance for take off



Take off clearance is granted as the plane entered into runway 15 for take off via RONDY departure





Airborne on climb to 9,000 ft with gorgeous cockpit view of entire PANC airport



Leaving background view of Anchorage with night city lights making left turn toward RONDY



Climbing through clouds to 9,000 ft intercepting RONDY and heading to ATYOL



Nice view of Alaskan mountains of Chugach State Park while flying over Turnagain Arm river



Nice view of Gilpatrick Mountains



Cruising at 9,000 ft toward ATYOL



View of ATYOL waypoint loomed ahead as you can tell you are getting closer to ATYOL when you see waters of Chochrane Bay ahead



Intercepting ATYOL above Chochrane Bay and heading to RANMO



Nice view of Port Wells



Nice view of Port Nellie Juan



Descending from 9,000 ft to 5,000 ft over waters of Prince William Sound





Intercepting RANMO above waters of Prince William Sound making left turn to head to Bligh on way to runway 06 and this is what fun starts!!!!!
Why?  Because in order to approach to that runway, you have to fly between mountains to follow rivers of Valdez Arm and Port Valdez to approach runway!!!



At 3,000 ft above river waters of Valdez Arm



Cockpit view of following the river while avoiding mountains on both sides of the river!!!!

Shalom to you. Very nice pics.  As you like to fly Alaska, might I suggest Era Alaska http://www.flyera.com/.  There are lots of modern and older aircraft around the libraries, including a Reeves Aleutian Lockheed Electra and a very nice Unalakleet somewhere around too.  If you like Ice Road Truckers (IRT) when it was filmed in Alaska, you should also try following the ice road from Anchorage to Deadhorse, makes for some nice Screen shots.

 

Nice to know you Aharon and all the best my friend.

very nice set there, enjoyed it, whats the plane and where did you get it???  thanks, Ronny

Nice shots!

Ronny, its a Curtis C-46 Commando.

Thanks all for kind words.

 

RichD,  nice to meet you too!!  Your link took me to real world Era airline????  Also  yes I fly around a lot in Alaska on FSX and flew many times between Deadhorse and PANC on FSX:) I also have Reeves Aleutian Lockheed Electra for FSX too
