Emergency Fuel Delivery!

Featured Replies

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

 

PADQ United States Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak located four nautical miles southwest of the central business district of Kodiak, Alaska is having fuel shortage crisis because of previous powerful snowstorm that cut off roads and shipping lanes to Kodiak meaning that Coast Guard has to call for emergency airlift of fuel so that their fleet of HH-60 Jayhawk and HH-65 Dolphin helicopters and the HC-130 Hercules can maintain crucial rescue operations.

Gorgeous shots!  I can hear those A model engines scream like it was yesterday.  I wonder how those Ohioans handled that Alaskan blizzard :lol:

Aharon,

 

As someone who is in the real world Coast Guard and having been stationed at Kodiak, I've gotta hand it to you!  Those pictures are breath taking and reminded me about the beauty Kodiak had to offer.  I recommend that if anyone ever gets the chance to visit Kodiak, do you I promise you will not regret it!

Thanks Garciamk3g, Pinlifter, Uscgjoker, and FDX777 for kind words.

 

Uscgjoker, I am honored that a real life United States Coast Guard member such as you like my screenshots and agree with my screenshots' realism!!! Once again, thanks for your very kind words. If I win lottery, I would visit Alaska for vacation :)

 

Also, I made lots of Alaska screenshots in past. You can find those using search functions. This include KC-10 flight over Alaska. Another is a nice 733 inter-Alaska flight from airport to PAFA.

 

Regards,

 

Aharon

Aharon,

 

I will definitely take a look!  I have had the the privilege of viewing some of the pictures that you have posted on the Anchorage ARTCC forums, as I used to be a controller there.  I look forward to viewing more of your photos!

Thanks for your kind words, Joe.

 

If you regularly see my screenshots on Anchorage ARTCC forums, I guess you already have seen all my past screenshots on Alaska. LOL

 

If not, you can go back to Anchorage ARTCC forums to see any Alaskan screenshots you miss.

 

Regards,

 

Aharon
